The Tortoise's Travels



The napkin doodle has found it's way to end as my latest limited edition Giclée Print.

The idea for this came up the other day while I was playing with my kids and one of them saw a turtle shaped cloud above in the sky and that follows a long story about the tiny things this turtle was doing in his cloudy life up there... she has a house, she eats an apple, she plays volley ball, enjoy the sun and every once in a while visits her friends and family houses, during the time my son was talking about all the things this turtle enjoyed to do we noticed the turtle shaped cloud was going away pushed by the wind so I asked my son – If the turtle is forced to move out, what do you think she would like to take with her? – He responded, well, the most important things for her are obviously her family and friends so probably will take their entire houses with her...

So, I made this sketch first based in our turtle conversation :)



And the final piece just arrived!
This is a signed and hand-numbered 100 Limited Edition Giclee Print.
Size: 16" x 20" (40 x 50 cm) on 100% cotton rag, archival acid free base, fine art paper.

  4. Just bought my first piece of yours. It's hard to narrow down which to get but with this one, it was a no brainer. Can I expect to see more this year at G1988????

    I don't know if you've seen this, but there's no way of contacting you via your website so I thought I'd show you here. http://johnnyowx.deviantart.com/art/The-owl-176851618 - they cite you as a reference but it's a straight copy.
