The Universe Is Smiling: "Friendship"

On January 9th I had put up this drawing for a contest, asking for a title and a matching quote. The contest ended on February 13th. I got a lot of great quotes to chose from but left it to the voters on Facebook and an independent jury of friends that hadn't sent in any submissions. The first winner got the print of the drawing mounted on a 6"x6"x2" wood block with the winning quote on the back panel, while the second and third winner got a print of the drawing. It was a lot of fun, and we'll do another contest in the Fall.
The wood block is available on my ETSY store "TheUniverseIsSmiling".
