The above piece was an illustration inspired by my trip last year to the Everglades. It is one of my favorite illustrations to date and I decided to make a couple follow-up pieces. I have gotten advice from multiple artists that creating a series of 3 or more illustrations that are in the same world, is a great portfolio-builder. It also relieves some of the pressure of trying to come up with something brand new each time. I had so much fun with these!
