Everywhere and all the time

Drawing the line
“Art, like morality, consists in drawing the line somewhere.” G. K. Chesterton
Old sketch, new sketch
One of my old sketches has been given a new lease of life. It is now the logo for community organisation the Thank You Club in California. I created the original image a couple of years ago to thank people for following and liking my WordPress blog. The words have been repainted for the logo (to keep the colours consistent), there is a new family of stick figures (the Bamfords) and I rearranged some of the original figures to accommodate the new layout. I’m very thankful that my little stick figures are being put to such good use.
Give us what you’ve got
