8 colour design. No special inks.
This was a lot of fun to design, and thanks to everyone who helped in critique, especially in the last days before submission! The wave is sweeping over a castle, as the child imagines it. The child is blue to reflect the water element (he's destroying the sand castle on his side). The wave looks like hands to relate to the hands of the child. The rider adds a humorous element whilst also supporting the imagination of the child. There are 4 tiny fish and 3 tiny shells on the design! Please see: High Res Version to spot all the items :) ....Also, please help yourself to the free juice and cake.... |

mmmmmmm juice and cake, dont mind if I do. I love the concept and the attention to detail . the placement is nice, i lean more toward the bottom placement with the child centered more to the right. Illustration works well even without knowing the concept which is a huge plus. Great piece! 5$
