Illustration Friday - Climbing

Silhouettes of climbing vines are framing the skies around my neighborhood these winter days.

Illustration Friday - Contained

The fighting in Gaza is heavy on my mind this week. The history and complexity of the region is daunting and i realize this is just one of myriad perspectives. Illustration Friday's topic this week is "contained" and i wanted to explore the plight of the Palestinians civilians trapped in Gaza - surrounded by Israel and enduring the detriment of Hamas.

Thanks to Nidal El-Khairy for his inspirational imagery that led to this sketch.

Illustration Friday - Resolve

For this week's Illustration Friday topic "resolve" I remembered endless steps up to Coit Tower and pathways up to the Bamboo forest outside of Hana - daunting at first, but worthwhile in the end.
