I kind of dig this art also, but I cant help but to think, what is it above this type of work that draws you in? Its almost as if, it brings you back to your inner child. Seriously didn't all of you draw this type of stuff in kindergarten thru 4th or 5th grade. I know I did, and this does take me back.
