Illustration Friday: Tales & Legends



Feelin’ cosmic and story-fied today. Above is the collage I put together for the current assignment over at Illustration Friday (click it for a bigger view). It combines an ancient creation story and the Orion nebula, which is a good 1,500 light-years from Earth. In the night sky Orion is the brightest spot in the sword of the constellation Hunter. The bird knows.

This is my answer to Illustration Friday’s (IF website) assignment to illustrate “Tales and Legends”. With help from a spectacular NASA image called Chaos at the Heart of Orion and two cuts from Briar Press. The text is adapted from an Aborigine creation story.

Nicely done - good mix of media. The woodcut and NASA imagery combination works.
