#196 The Rabbit

Animalia: Day 139

The Rabbit

So this drawing and tomorrows – the raccoon (as well as the squirrel) 

– were done in 2011 and 2012 as gifts for my girlfriend at the time.

They form a series of forest animals in different ships of sorts.

Thus, they do not have the requisite "fig..." labels. But I colored them

for the purpose of putting them up for Animalia. It is also why the

animals are kind of secondary to the larger narrative of the image.

In any case, I really like how these turned out, hope you do too.

Strangely enough, they will be getting posted in the opposite order

that they were made. So the squirrel, which won't be up for months,

was actually done in early 2011, with the others done in 2012.

Tomorrow: the Raccoon.

#157 Holiday Gift Exchange

'Tis the time for holiday cheer again!

This time last year I made an elephant drawing for this
art history gift exchange.

This year I made a tree topper for the librarian for the visual resources
library; she loves Harry Potter and LOTR.

So I made an Eye of Sauron Tree Topper:

in progress

in situ 

close up at home when i finished it. 

in situ, again.

I was surprised to find that no one had done this yet, 

according to a google image search.

Also, I thought about working the Foucaultian Panopticon in somehow,
but overlapping the North Star, the Eye of Sauron,
and Santa seemed enough cultural layering.

Hope y'all liked this.

Happy Holidays!

#131 Christmas Gift / Elephant Part Two

Did an elephant drawing for a white elephant gift exchange.

Drawn after Jan Mollijn's woodcut.

From the little elephant in the top left corner.

Kind of an Animalia supplement.

Here is the original elephant post.
