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.

    Wow, that really is dead-on for elephant. That and the print just work together so perfectly.

    Very clever use of the book cover color and texture, and I also like the print, and the negative spaces... beautiful and essential.

    Very nice elephant. Love the add of the newsprint, tonal grays and the curly trunk, simple yet strong illustration!

    Inspiring technique. Love how the texture of the old book serves perfectly as the texture of the elephant. Beautifully rendered!

    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
