As a kid, I was really into rainbows. The more colorful stuff I could get for school, the better. Having grown up in the 90s, I was part of that Lisa Frank trend, and I remember watching Rainbow Brite and the Star Stealer a few times on Disney Channel. I always liked Starlite due to his rainbow mane and tail, though I find his massive ego (always calling himself "the most magnificent horse in the universe") quite irritating today.

So, I had a little fun experimenting with different rainbow patterns. I think the top fifth patch with all those "plusses" turned out best, and the one next to it with the horizontal stripes makes me think of a planet. Doesn't the puffy white cloud look adorable, though?

I'm also dabbling right now in some "I Love/I Hate" phrases. Personally, I would choose "I Hate Horror" because I really don't like horror at all. Which may sound a bit surprising considering my character Beowulf, among a few others, so those characters take me out of my comfort zone. Outside my own projects, I don't care to watch or read anything really scary or gruesome for my own entertainment. I prefer suspense to guts and gore.

I like how the clocks turned out, too...but oh boy, you'd be surprised how hard it is to arrange those Roman numerals just right.

I think part of my problem in FanX was investing too much in the big stuff. People were more drawn to my pins, magnets, and cards because they cost less and took up less space. In my defense, this was my very first time doing this, I had no one else to help me, and I'm not so business savvy. But as they say, the first time is always the hardest and you can either let your mistakes get you down or learn from them.

Either way, making the art is the easy (and fun) part, I can tell you.
