Do you have a happiness buddy?

This ad from headspace.org.au is one of the best commercials I’ve seen on television for depression. Usually the ad people rely on stock video of anguished looking people with a hand to the forehead shot in a blue cast, which could just as easily be used for headache tablet commercials.

Doodling, again

I have some form of laryngitis I fear, my throat is killing me and my voice is making sexy croaking sounds. Ewwww. I checked Illustration Friday yesterday and had an idea, but didn’t get to draw it until today. And now the word is different :( Here it is anyway! I have the weirdest songs…
