This toon is especially appropriate in light of yesterday's trip to Haunama Bay and the snorkeling and sunburning we did there. It was delicious and I am a little burned, but I've come to enjoy a mild sunburn. It makes your skin a little more sensitive, and it reminds you of being out in the sun, on the hot sand. Sue and my visiting auntie and myself spent the day snorkeling with exotic rainbow colored fish, then chilling out at the Byodo-In Buddhist temple and feeling birds that flew into our hands. It was well worth taking the day off at smelly, moldy, devoid-of-light Jelly's.

Another item added to the Snap Crackle Pop Store: a bitchin' tote bag, thanks to Erin's suggestion. It looks grand. Also, I took down my prices on some of the original t-shirts and the poster, out of both love for y'all and guilt for capitalism.

Hope all my sweeties are having a grand day, and if you're not, cheer up! Have a cartoon.

This one marks the beginning of my experiments with gray-toned Copic markers. I feel actually refreshed being able to add some different textures to this! The plain, flat black and white was killing me. I'm almost cringing looking back. Hopefully I'll become more skilled with these and be able to really spice up the scenes for you. As it is, please enjoy my clumsy first efforts.
