All Cartooned Up

In my past blogging experience, I've always used cute "cartoon-ish" characters, that us bloggers fondly refer to as avatars. Privacy...I guess that's the rationale behind my choice of "avatars" in the past.

An old friend of mine, who happens to be a talented artist, created this wonderful digital artwork for me...and I have decided to use it as my blogging avatar.

The inspiration behind her artwork was a dolled up photo of...well...myself.

Uuuh...

Why hello, Captain Obvious!

I know...I know. Lol.

Now I can blog as me - not that I turn all schizo when I blog and take on an alter ego...lol! I did not mean it like that at all. My point is, my avatar is now a cartoonized version of myself and not just some random animated artwork.I dunno...it's just more honest. It has "there came this woman" (my blog) written all over it. It's more me. I like it.

Ri...this post is for you. Thanks so much for this amazing artwork.
