We've wanted to add emoticons for a while, but a lot of the designs out there didn't really fit with our site aesthetic.

So we asked Oana Befort - the insanely talented watercolor illustrator who paints our Hellobee icons - if she would paint us a few watercolor emoticons. She agreed, and here they are!

Or you can type in the standard text emoticons and we'll convert those too... with or without the nose!

Let us know what you think!!
