Introduction

If you're still not sure what a vexel is just follow this link and find out what is and what isn't allowed in vexels.

The challenge

Each month I want to have a lil' vexel challenge. There are no prizes, just the fun of making new works (all arts will be featured).

The theme for June is...

Cartoon yourself

That's right! I want to see a portrait of you in a cartoony style! Remember that this has to be a vexel.
When your entry is done just send me a note with a title 'Cartoon challenge'.
