Rainbow Giraffe

Giraffes are beautiful, graceful yet fun and somewhat comical. This illustration was in itself a work of fun, an unleashing of the little girl within. Like so many little girls’ toys and cartoons, its a bright mash of atmospheric phenomena, red hued colours and a cutesy ungulate mammal.

original illustration: pigment liner, watercolour pencil, colour pencil, and watercolour crayon on medium tooth paper

Thanks to the group Giraffes – the Long and the Tall of It! who featured this work in July 2009.
