Elephant Head

I like how the blue pencil lines show through her skin tone, and also this was sorta influenced by Audrey Kawasaki's latest pieces (i.e. Charlotte) with all the beautiful bones. I find skeletons/ skulls so beautiful! And elephant skulls are so crazy looking....

I'm also entering this into Illustration Friday's hat of "Influence," because I feel my work is very influenced (and inspired!) by Audrey's work : )

Water for Elephants

E is for Elephant

A baby elephant, that is! I'll be away from my scanner til Sunday night, so no updates til then! Have a great weekend everybody!! : D

Illustration Friday "Electricity"

For Illustration Friday's theme, "Electricity," I thought of Topsy, the unfortunate elephant whom Edison electrocuted in order to demonstrate the dangers of AC current. I wanted to draw something that would capture the barbary of the act and add a crown of electric sparks, while incorporating the bizarre headdress that they put on her. I'd like to think of this image as some sort of electric ghost or spirit of Topsy.

Painted Elephant

My submission for this week's Illustration Friday's theme, "Wrinkle." When I thought of wrinkles, I thought of elephants, and was inspired by the chalk ceremonial paintings that are done on elephants in India. Enjoy!
