DrawHappy

” ‘Singin’ in the Mud’ is the name of my drawing, but not because I like to do that. It’s because it puts together two of my passions: pigs & classic movies. I’ve loved pigs from an early age and I have a huge collection of them; [they are] what really makes me happy. I’m  also a huge fan of classic movies, and one that always makes me smile is ‘Singin’ in the Rain’ (well, Gene Kelly makes me smile in every movie!). So, when I saw a draw in a mug putting they together, I decided to do the same and ‘Singin’ in the Mud’ was created.”

About my drawing
“I’m sending a drawing that I made some time ago. I was lying in the hammock in my grandfather’s house, listening to rock music and trying to draw with a bic. It was a rainy day, but I was very happy, because when I’m drawing, I don’t feel like I can be sad―it’s one of the things that I most love! I really like your blog, so I decided to send you one of my experiences. Thanks for your time.”
