Sometimes I use the Sketchbook Project as an excuse to goof off artistically.

This time around I used their theme “No worries” as an excuse to do a set of images that for me work like emergency smile generators.

I didn’t want to incorporate a lot of words, so I used QR codes to link to whatever my doodle represented (e.g. Nichelle Nichols speaking about the time Dr. King talked her into staying on Star Trek as Lt. Uhura.).

I didn’t task it with being terribly profound.  The point was just to enjoy it.  Ironically, I was struggling with some personal stuff that made working on this project feel downright strange.  I ended up doing most of it the night before, which was a slightly more frantic pace than I planned.  Still fun.
