Pop Culture and Life Lessons

I firmly believe that if you keep your eyes and ears open, there is something very valuable to learn about life everywhere you look. I recently had a giveaway on my Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/marybelmartin/) and I asked the winners if they had any suggestions. One of them suggested Ponyo and the other "anything, I love color". I wanted to draw these pieces in my usual "confessional art" style, and this is what happened... enjoy!
