Halloween Day. The family was running around like maniacs, excited about getting their sugar-filled loot, and I just wanted a little bit of time to paint.

A cupcake.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE cupcakes.

I so loathe that they are not good for you.

I wish they made you young and skinny and your teeth super white!!

I started out like this:

So, I got out my fancy pants, archival-quality ink pen and did this:

And viola! A more artsy cupcake, with more action and interest =D I love it and will put it to the front of some cards and sell them in my shop soon.

(of course, after I drew it, I snapped a pic, and edited it in Photoshop)
