This one’s happy. This facial expression and pose was fun to do.

A Middle Eastern child stands with their hands over their chest and belly, laughing.  Their eyes are closed and mouth open.  They're wearing a pale purple track suit with a white stripe and gray slide-on sneakers.  Their hair is black and shaggy.

This child is wearing a traditional Hawaiian shirt with a tropical leaves print. I originally made the print in green, but the client had me change it to purple.

A child, aged 7-9, standing.  They are laughing with one hand covering their mouth and the other clutching their belly.  They are wearing a Hawaiian shirt with a tropical leaves print in purple.  They are also wearing white shorts and sneakers.  The are Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.  Their hair is short style.

Woops, skipped a day. Should have posted this yesterday.

We’re moving on to the second batch of this large project. This batch contains 15 different Native Hawaiians and Pacific Islanders. They’re all in warm-weather clothing.

This one is a girl, aged 4-6. She looks happy, doesn’t she?

A girl aged 4-6 is standing with her arms crossed over her chest.  She is grinning and laughing.  She is either Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander.   She has short, chin-length black hair with bangs.  She's wearing a turquoise t-shirt, jean shorts, and striped, pink sandals.

Here’s the last 7-9 year old for this batch. They’re in a gender-neutral outfit and posed in a side view. The original version of this one had them turned away from the viewer, 3/4 view from the back, but the client wanted to see more of their face.

A black child aged 7-9 stands with their arms clutching their belly, laughing.  They are viewed from the side.  They're wearing a purple sweatshirt with a black star pattern, jeans, and red sneakers.  Their hair is in an afro.

Second One…

Yes, this is going to be a series. I’m planning to share all 150 of these, one every other day.

This little guy seems happy.

A little black boy stands with his hands holding his belly as he laughs.  He's wearing a t-shirt, jeans, and sneakers.

Laughing Donkey

Cartoon of a braying jackass. Literally rolling on the floor laughing.

There are plenty of perfectly nice donkeys in
the world, but this guy is a braying jackass.
