Yesterday, we had Chips. Today, we have Dip.
You could have seen it coming, right?
When I was younger, my mom understood chips. Whenever we got sour cream and onion dip, we didn’t get those airy, light potato chips.
We got generic Ruffles. The kind that could hold the dip. The kind that didn’t apologize to your mouth, or break off in the middle of the bowl, leaving your fingers searching through a sea of creamy dip.
Nope. We got the good chips when we got the good dip. I didn’t have very many perfect days growing up, but I’m sure when I did, the ratio of chips to dip was clearly correlated.
I think that’s the way life should be.
I combined this reference with hints from yesterday, to create this little gal:
I drew her for Jen Salmon — a supportive, kind, and funny momma who lived down the street from us growing up. Just like Jen, Dip has more than enough love — along with a fair amount of spikes — to keep the world going right.
And she’s just adorable.
Sorry that I’m swinging toward the cute so much lately. Coming off of being sick, the world is a little dreary, and I’m more than a bit exhausted. All the extra hearts and sweet cheeks makes it all a little bit more bearable.
I swear I’ll draw a dragon worthy of Game of Thrones, but that won’t be for a long while.
For now, cute and funny and just a little bit cuddly.
Keep creating,
Kate
