A Diary of Small Things

In everyone's life, even in the darkest places, there is something that brings them happiness. My name is Cliff Cumber, and this is my attempt to find those moments and catalog them day-by-day with a photo, a drawing, a line or two.

If you feel inspired, I hope you'll join me. One moment of joy, every day.

42 // via Samsung Instinct M800: Shrink ma dink When it comes to art projects I am an unbelievable pain in the ass. This may be because of my art school training (so long ago as to be almost irrelevant now). But I get really farty when it comes to coloring in. As you heard below, I decorated all but two damn Easter eggs. Here’s a Shrinky Dink caterpillar. Color, bake, shrink. Sounds simple enough, no? No. I had to shade mine. I had to give it some 3D shadows. I had to give it some feathering to the tail, a glowing yellow background, a tinge of red border. Honestly. What a twit. But it makes me happy. What can I say? For the record, this one never got baked.
