This cartoon is a nod to “Throwback Thursdays.” I drew it many years ago. It reminds me of when I drew a portrait of my grandmother. She was a sweet soul that worked hard her entire life. She had many wrinkles from working in the sun. I thought they were beautiful and interesting.
This cartoon came to me the other day when my pastor was preaching a sermon on Ephesians 2:10.
For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.
Ephesians 2:10 (New Living Translation) from Bible Gateway

Today’s challenge was to look at negative spaces within some squiggles and draw what you see. I saw a mad scientist/business guy. He’s ready to take over the world with his squigley hair!
