A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Smiles

If you're the type of person who likes rainbows and unicorns and everything happy then you should go check out Dallas Clayton's work.

Clayton is an illustrator and children's book author who also tries to make the world a happier place with inspirational cartoons and posts on his Instagram account.

His website states that when he isn't illustrating or writing "he is generally trying find happiness and share it with others." And he succeeds in doing just that.

Some days Clayton posts pictures with simple food for thought.

Quality. Quantity.
