Paint Doll! – K Michael Crawford

One of the artists who drew on a SBN doll at Comic Con, K Michael Crawford, sent us a lovely email the other day with pictures of a brand new art doll she painted over her comic con sketch doll.

Her little beebear is cute as a button!Â I love it so. <3Â She said she’s going to take him out to cons this year, so look for this guy at the Happily Ever Art! booth.
