Coattails
She started off, come to think of it, a doodle on a whiteboard at work -- an unusually
cheerful creature to come through my hand. I put her into
digital form to save her (after all whiteboard art is even less permanent than
online art). I was unexpectedly pleased with the result, and added a starry background (I used to
love making XBM bitmap starry backgrounds, but found I was out of practice). I like
to think she's on a tour of the universe and she's just stopping by to lend
some cheer.
She became the background image for my screen at work, reminding me to smile. (I think
I needed the reminder.)
Well, I no longer have that job, but I still have the Smiler and her Coattails.
Back to main.
