It would be fun to have been able to capture a lady bug with black dots on its red back. I thought this image might be kind of fun instead:

My first post on IMT ! I’ve been wanting to play for a while! This is my little dog Emma. I drew this last year for Illustration Friday when the word was ‘wired.’ I love polka dots almost as much as I love my dog!

Seriously what could be more fun and playful than polka-dots?! Those little fellas can perk up anyone’s day just as good a a cup of coffee! Okay… maybe a close second to a good ol’ cup of Joe.

Jotting dots,
In the creative process the jot of a dot is usually the first and primal action.
Bubbles, pollen, seeds, are variations on the jotting of dots compulsion…
And the sun is one JOT of a DOT.
