Illustration Friday - Tales and Legends


According to Native American legend, "The trickster Lox takes the form of a wolf, follows hunters, invades their camp, and destroys everything he can." This image is post-invasion, when Lox and friends are hanging out campfire-side.

I like this post-invasion scene where Lox and friends are lounging by the fire, relaxing and enjoying themselves :) It’s amazing how you can evoke many sentiments with your paper shapes and minimum colors. Brilliant.

It is like a wolf theater. Nice atmosphere, considering the earlier carnage that must certainly have occurred. Hee hee! Congrats on being Pick o' the Week.
