Mouse is taking over!

I decided to change my image and the mouse is taking over… Why? Although pencils, rulers and brushes are important, I spend more time in the computer moving my mouse than using my basic tools. However, I will continue to use my purple pencil.

Purple symbolizes creativity, magic, luxury, spirituality, dignity, royalty, and mystery and it evokes all of these meanings more so than any other color. Also purple is the color of my month which is February.
