“FRIENDSHIP TO LAST A LIFETIME”

I can honestly say I am so proud of these drawings. I’ve had this idea for a series living in my brain for a long time. I kid you not - when I finished the last one I sat and stared at them as a series and gave myself a legitimate pat on the back! I might have even teared up a little… It is such an emotional journey to draw like this. I’ve poured my heart and soul into each one of these drawings. Seeing them come to life has brought me so much joy and pride!

LIFE IS MEANT FOR GOOD FRIENDS AND GREAT ADVENTURES.

This series has been an adventure of creativity and hard work. I spent hours researching animals and alot of debating on the right pairings of friendships. I wanted it to be timeless and I think the brown paper is the cherry on top. I’ve been saving this paper for years! It is hand pressed recycled paper with a ribbon finish. It was discontinued from the paper artisans so I bought all they had left. When I starting imagining this series almost a year ago I knew this was the perfect project for this special brown paper. My process is very meticulous, which can be tough at times, but I believe that is why each piece comes to life in such a beautiful way! In this series in particular the paper was an unexpected hurdle that called for a lot of extra sharpening and finessing to get the technical marks for the fine details. But oh my gosh so worth the extra care! I adore them on this brown paper and I think it elevates the whole series giving the drawings a timeless natural beauty. It has been so rewarding to achieve such charisma in each of these animals as they came to life. This series is extraordinarily special and I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!!
