Are you afraid of being childish? That's the worst name you would want to hear somebody calling you with, when you are in your teens. But later... I guess you don't care so much.
I wanted to tell you a story about one of my images. That's the one with rainbow. A little red cat is missing there. It should sit right under the rainbow. :) I couldn't recreate it. But that was the memorable drawing from my kindergarten days. I painted it during my drawing lesson with gouache colors. I was so proud, when I draw it. Other kids were admiring my work and I thought: "Hmm... maybe I'm an artist..."
Now when I learned to use Illustrator, I wanted to recreate my childhood image. I had serious doubts, when I uploaded it on stock sites. Cause at that time there wasn't many illustrations or cartoons online. But I'm happy I wasn't too afraid of looking childish. There were couple of funny comments on other forums about my "childish cartoons", cause anybody can draw them, right? :) But it was okay. Right now this image has been downloaded 28 times and has amazing 91453 views. There are probably some references to my image somewhere in forums, but I don't know where. But anyway, for me this image, as simple as it is, carries cherished memories from my childhood. And I really enjoy looking all those numerous rainbow cartoons what have been uploaded on stock sites since then.
Aren't they great?

Wow, I nearly missed this blog. Thanks Mailis :) Rainbows and garden forts, long grass to hide and play in, wooded swampy areas full of mossies, creepy and fun. Tree climbing, mud pie making and sandpit playing. Lying on my stomach on a swing and pretending the grass was the tops of trees and I was flying. So many things I enjoy doing, I mean did enjoy doing ;P :)))))) Well, I'm off out to play again, I mean work :D

Being childlike is to remain unspoilt by grownups. I recharge my battery everytime I feel being an adult has taken a toll on my sanity by quitting work to go to the garden or park simply to watch children play amongst themselves. It reminds me that sometimes tomorrow is not always that important. It also reminds me that worrying too much over tomorrow, I might not see too many tomorrow... that I could get sick and not enjoy too many tomorrows. This is why I try to immerse myself with youth.
good idea.
