So i developed a new hobby and passion in art and cartoon design using photoshop software.

Art to me is a way of expressing your inner most thought, and i love making cartoon like design of others, the process of achieving this skill is really not that hard all needed is just passion, time and patience.

Anyway the cartoon design you are seeing is my cousin king ade who just celebrated his one year old birthday and this is my little gift for him, you need to see the reaction of the parents when i resented the art work.
