Oh Deer!

Saturday December 1, 2007

Drawn with felt tip pen, rendered with Photoshop.

Poor deer. That’s what a zoo sometimes feel to me – big cages where the animals are made to greet you (a deer doesn’t have pompoms for a tail, it’s a metaphor!)

——————————————————————————————————————

I totally missed last week’s Illustration Friday’s topic: The Zoo, although I’d already sketched my entry on Monday. :(

So I decided I’ll just put it on here anyway.

It’s going to be a better year for me, I can feel it already.

Have a happy weekend!

He’s sweet. I agree, sometimes one feels cruel, enjoying the zoo. Thanks for your comment, Amy:)

You mean we should molest animals so taht they feel less lonely?? It could be the opposite!

Sometimes the zoo can feel like that…but other times they keep rare animals safe. I haven’t done much zoo research lately or anything though : (
I really love the picture though!!!

Hey Amy, thanks for stopping by!! I love your drawing and everything, you are so talented!
In Australia, some of the animals are not keeping in the cage in the zoo, they’re allow to run freely, but of course, huge animals are in the cages.

Happy Birthday AND Congratulations AND Good Luck (house hunt)!

Have missed visiting you, and everyone. The wind and rain won’t let me sleep so I picked 5 of you to catch up with, and you have all had major events of life changing things happen.

I hope your birthday is WONDERFUL... xxx

Great illustration and thoughtful message. The deer is so sweet.

I’ve wondered what it would be like to use a wacom. Sounds encouraging.

Happy Birthday!
