It has been a long time! Life has kept me fairly busy and my muse has decided frolicking in the gorgeous weather is far more enthralling than allowing me to draw. But my spirit is being rejuvinated and so I suppose the time away has done me good. Thank you for those that left me messages that they missed my work, it has meant a lot!

I'm not sure explaining the piece itself would serve much of a purpose. So what I will say is how beautiful I find all of nature to be. There is such profound elegance and perfection in the simplest designs found on earth. I chose the Nautilus shell for this piece as the striping pattern on them reminded me strongly of the stripes on a tiger, not to mention how ancient the imagery of the spiral shell is. The idea was merely how nature repeats similar themes throughout its creations, big and small..thus connecting each . The rest of the elements in the piece go along the same theme of connecting the natural world. As for why I chose a tiger and not some other animal, well of course my heart's passion is for big cats and so...I surmise they will always be a primary subject in my personal work.

This piece is meant to be loose and not constricted by any rules! The original will appear in the Anthrocon 2007 Artshow in July.
