Butterflies Inside

24 Feb

“So here is my drawing, I made it at my desk at work, after having told half the floor about your project. It is the third try, I first tried to draw my dog, then filled a whole page with drawings of all the things that make me happy, but then came a song that gave me instant butterflies. I must be in love. So there.”

Teto, the Smile Generator

24 Feb

“One of the things that make me happy and I can really put together in a drawing, is my very cute, obese guinea pig, Teto. His huge pink ears and the noise he does each time I enter the room are priceless and always make me smile. My pets are generally ‘smile generators’ and make my day!”
