Happy to be alive Maze-ing Maze 25


Maze-ing Maze 25

Smile and pass it on!

Maze 25:  This maze was one of the 15 I was just commissioned to do.  They will be used as mazes for kids to print.  The message was humor and how it can help the world.  So I was trying to show how smiling can be contagious so to speak.  I’ve already completed three others that I didn’t scan yet but will share soon.  This project is definitely helping me to get over my fear of using colors.  Its also challenging my view on “drawing” for my children’s books.

I wanted to challenge anyone who reads this to take a smile challenge with me.  So the next time you have negative feelings, sad, mad etc, put a big cheesy grin on and see if your attitude changes.  I tried it all day yesterday when I was thinking about some of the issues in my life and it worked.  I couldn’t stay angry, and actually found myself laughing at myself for doing it.  It felt good.  So give it a try.
