Seasonal hybrid

Posted this already but it just suits the IF theme-of-the-week so well that… well here it again :)

The trheenoceros, or just "trheeno", is a tree/rhinoceros hybrid.

While nobody knows for sure exactly how they're born, it's entirely possible that they germinate from seed. Expert opinions vary…

Oh, happy days...

This week's challenge and one of my favourite themes... tree!

spring's sprout

Well it's official, after a beautifully mild sunny day (and only 5 days late), spring has arrived!

So, to celebrate, here's a little sprout...

(and is that the shadow of winter looming in the back?)

Zen trees

More delays on the site... grr...

When I'm frustrated I like to draw trees, it hard to do wrong by a tree and the lines are so peacful.

I especially like to experiment and try new things, I forget where the idea came from but it's a fairly simple technique of superimposing photos and watercolours.

The Lost Forest

I've been a bit scarce lately, having just finished illustrating a children's book for Tafelberg Press, as well as setting it in two languages!
Anyway, so I'm done with that and a few other projects, now I'll be a little more regular :)

I'll blog those soon enough but today I thought I'd do this one...
A few years back a friend of mine wrote a story that struck me, I promised him I'd illustrate it and promptly moved to another province.
By the time I'd drawn these we'd completely lost touch, he had in turn moved away too, so these will remain unpublished until we re-connect.
Oh well...
