Illustration Friday: Safari
For this weeks topic I did a digital collage with an old grey book jacket that screams elephant. Elephant comes to mind when I think of Safari. Please click on the elephant to get a better look.

  15. Oh my, this elephant and the owl...hard to choose: they are wonderful! So understated but distinctive. And your pencil drawings have such a beautiful 'hand,' as they say in the textile design industry! Your work and design sense is truly very much your own! Thank you so much, too, for your compliments on my own work.
    :-) Best wishes, Susan
