” The Level Headed Hat drawing was initially inspired  as a play on words, referencing the common phrase levelheaded. Combining the hat and bubble level is a concept I have had over the years, likely influenced by  my work as a builder using a level while also wearing a ball cap. I recently decided  to illustrate this concept, and after posting the drawing on the Samsung Phone Stylus Project , I began to look online for other examples of level hats.  I then became aware of the significant variety of  hats with bubble levels, some going back decades, all making a similar visual association with the phrase levelheaded.  It occurs to me that perhaps these bubble level hats are like a talisman,  inviting good fortune while guided by the benefits that come from a resilient and balanced outlook, and for the wearer it becomes both a proclamation and bears a responsibility to uphold the statement it proclaims.”         – Jeff Douglass
