what is colrana.

Ever wondered what "colrana" means?

It is actually a made up word!
Colrana is an abbreviated word that stands for colita de rana in Spanish!
Colita de rana, translated literally, is the tail of a frog. However, it is most well known as a Spanish nursery rhyme. I first heard it from my mother when I was very little, and it stuck with me ever since!

The nursery rhyme goes as follows:
Sana sana, colita de rana
Si no sanas hoy, sanara mañana.

Basically, this rhyme would be told whenever a child would get hurt as a way to soothe the child. Sweet right?

I chose colrana as my internet handle because of its familiar connotation, as well as I really loved frogs when I was very little! I also thought up of the handle at the very last minute when I needed some type of name for my first art blog!

Colrana is also the name of my mascot! You can see him on the main page, just hanging around!

He was created during highschool for no real reason other than I was enamored with an emoji that my teacher would draw on the board. It was the c:= emoji. I just found it so cute that this little smiley would have what I considered as antennae, so I doodled him into creation!

His design is composed of 2 large circles representing his head and his body. His two arms and two legs are also circles! He also always has a smiling face, but he also gets surprised very easily and can go =:o opened mouth! His antennae are also the most important part of his design. Without those, he wouldn't be able to interact with the world!
