claudine hellmuth's blog: retro * whimsical art and illustration

illustration friday - jungle

At first I wasn't very inspired by this week's IF theme of jungle, but then as I was working the idea grew. I did this piece quickly as a warm up and ended up having a lot of fun with it.

If this piece had a quote to go with it, it would be "Maude and Milly couldn't believe their luck"

I love the paper cut style and the black line details...works great! I laughed when I saw it, and then when I read the quote - I laughed again. Thanks for that.

Hah! This is a hoot! I just love the looks on their faces...they seem to be very proper, but they look so naughty with the camera. I really like the combination of media you used, and the limited colors make it have a very ubified appearance. Good one...I'm chuckling:>
