The Origins of the Smiley Face Project

In a world that’s perpetually on the brink, where every news flash feels like a punch to the gut, I craved something raw, something untainted. Enter the Smiley Face Project. Not birthed from some slick business pitch, but from a primal urge to inject a bit of genuine joy into the grind of daily life.

Why We Do It

The Smiley Face Project is my middle finger to the mundane. Each drawing is a riot against the drab, a splash of color in a world desperate for it. Those grinning faces, with their unapologetic, toothy smiles, aren’t just scribbles. They’re battle cries. They whisper that even in the darkest hours, there’s something worth smiling about. This project is a tribute to the innocent wonder we all bury beneath the weight of grown-up bullshit.

Who We Do It For

This project is for anyone who needs a damn good reason to smile. It’s for the weary soul who spots a smiley face on a grimy subway poster and feels a flicker of light. It’s for the kids with eyes wide open and for the jaded adults who need a reminder. It’s for the art junkies, the dreamers, the doers who see beauty in the cracks of everyday life. It’s for those who get that a simple smile can turn the world upside down, one grin at a time.

Our Commitment

At the core of the Smiley Face Project is a promise to you—our tribe. We’ll keep creating, keep spreading joy, and keep reminding you that happiness isn’t a destination, it’s the journey. Our illustrations are crafted with meticulous care, using top-notch materials and backed by over two decades of artistic grit. Each piece is a testament to the power of a smile and its magic to transform the ordinary into something extraordinary.

We’re on a mission to hit 365 drawings, one for every day of the year, and we’re committed to finishing strong by the end of this year. Every day brings us closer to that goal, and each drawing adds another layer to this joyful rebellion.
