Infuriating

Hokay, so... I'm working on some artwork for a camp that my church is doing next week. This is just a piece of art that will hang in the meeting area where the kids will hear the lessons I'm guessing. Anyway the theme of the camp is treasure quest and the theme verse is Matthew 6:21 "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." So I was asked to draw some sort of map. I wanted to incorporate as much of the actual lessons as possible so I asked about what they were talking about and I found out that there will be five points taught over the week so I named little places on my island map and so far it's turned out pretty good.

EXCEPT my glaring mistake :P well... it maybe it's not that bad but it certainly glares at me.


Observe, if you will, the top right corner where in a moment of prideful arrogance I did not practice how big to make the letters with a pencil (which is almost invisible) and I ran the e of purpose into the outline of the island. The infuriating part is that I had SO much room in that corner to write! And this is all permanent marker so there's no going back. *sigh* I am disappointed in myself...

Of course I know it's not a big deal and it's supposed to look almost like a kid drew it so it's ok that it's not "perfect". Also we're planning to "age" it anyway so it's going to get paint all over it to make it look dirty and old. Tell me honestly though, are the crowded up letters above a huge space of nothingness distracting? I'm distracted, the composition is off! The balance is in shambles! I'm also a hungry and pregnant perfectionist....
