Curious Curiosity

This is where we ask questions about the man behind the project.

Questions are to be sent by e-mail and I will answer each and every question. If the question is too inappropriate, I’ll still answer it as honestly as I can, but it’ll probably not end up here.

I will start this off with a question of my own (?):

What inspired you to start this project?

That is a great question, Mr. X.

I used to work at this independent children’s bookstore. Whenever I was behind the register, I doodled on scrap pieces of paper when the day was slow. When a customer came up, I would put the drawings aside. So one day, this customer—a mother—spotted my drawings and her face lit up. She immediately called over her daughter (who was around 4, maybe?) to look at the drawings. The mother seemed so excited over them and it made me happy to see them both smile because of my doodles. I regret not offering the drawings to her. I didn’t think about it when she was looking at them, but thought about it after she left. Way to go.

In addition to that, this all really started when I started giving people hand-made cards for the Holidays. As I was drawing, I thought to myself, “Why stop at holidays? Keep on giving, you silly.” So here I am. It came with problems though. Who will I send it to? I only have a certain number of friends and family members. After them, who do I contact?

So..voila! Hopefully, it will all work out and spread to people who need a bit of cheering up. Plus, I’m not that great at writing, as you can tell.

After all, you can’t put a price on a smile.

How many can we get?

You can ask for as many as you want! There is no limit; but I for one, think having one drawing rather than a bunch will seem like it’s more valuable and magical. Yep. Magical; but go for it! There’s one thing though. Priority goes to the people who haven’t received a drawing yet. Until the queue is cleared, then I will go on to you greedy piggies. Kidding (about the greedy piggies)!

Can we continue to bother you for more if we’re brats and refuse to smile in the first couple of pictures we send to you?

Oh, you are getting sneaky. I never said that you HAD to smile. Preferably it’s better because that’s what I’m set out to do and this entire site is based off of…well, smiles. If the drawing did not make you smile, than I have failed you and a part of my soul floats away. The rest can be answered by the previous question.
