var canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
var context = require('get-context')(canvas);

context
    .set({
        strokeStyle: '#0000ff',
        lineCap: 'round'
    })
    .beginPath()
        .arc(75, 75, 50, 0, Math.PI * 2, true) // Outer circle
        .moveTo(110, 75)
        .arc(75, 75, 35, 0, Math.PI, false)    // Mouth (clockwise)
        .moveTo(65,65)
        .arc(60, 65, 5, 0, Math.PI * 2, true)  // Left eye
        .moveTo(95,65)
        .arc(90, 65, 5, 0, Math.PI * 2, true)  // Right eye
    .stroke();
