the art of Onion Head

Today is a truly beautiful day. I woke up later than usual, the sun was shining, and I felt wonderful. As I stepped outside to start my day by heading to work, I felt the wonderful 55° F temperatures that told me winter was coming. (ok, even though it is going to be around 90° F for the high today, I have to remember that I live in Texas) Today my heart is filled with happiness and love, unlike most days when it is filled with a black coal hatred so deep no light can escape it.

Anyways, I’m getting sidetracked, the happiness reminded me of these crazy little Chinese animated icons, that I adore, called Onion Head. I use them for my messenger, and proceed to crack up with each use.

I wish I could read their website, because I’d love to learn more about how they started with the series. These little animated characters evoke a wide range of emotion (and unbridled cuteness) that is far more advanced than other animated icons I have seen.

Onion Head works really well at displaying my emotions on my blackest-black-heart days as well.
