If I were a mathematician, I'd calculate to the thousandth decimal the ratio of head size to body size that is required get a smile from the viewer. Alas, I am no mathematician, but through a series of trial and error I have closely approximated this ratio through a series of simple illustrations. This is no small feet. I have also discovered that many variables also come into play, depending on the subject matter. Context, color choice, environment, all these details become very important when arriving at the desired ratio. It is the search for this ratio that drives me to create art.
