Intricate

For Illustration Friday: intricate. Lino print with digital colour.

Life feels a bit like this at times: intricate, complicated, entangled, complex, confusing, convoluted, meandering..... Nothing like nature to let you know that we're all intricately connected though.

flawed?

For Illustration Friday: flawed?

Years ago I was lucky enough to travel to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. This sketch is one I made of a very famous temple called Ta Prohm. You might recall it was used in the filming of Tomb Raider in 2001. Some consider it flawed because of the huge trees growing out of the ruins. To me it's beautiful because of the way it merges with the jungle around it. Unfortunately my scanner couldn't take in all of the sketch so there are sections missing. But this gives you an idea.
