Penguins and Lemurs and Trees, Oh My!


This is a wedding gift I made for my high school friend Krista and her new husband, Matt.  I had them fill out a questionnaire to figure out what they might want to hang on the wall of their future home.  Krista's favorite animal is a penguin and Matt's is a lemur and their wedding was on June 2nd (6/2), so there are 6 penguins and 2 lemurs.  The mountains and waterfall in the background are Yosemite National Park which is where the couple got engaged.  I also incorporated their favorite colors/ color combinations.  Can you find the hidden heart? (think FedEx arrow)

  1. This is wonderful! I can't get over how awesome the bark pattern is. It's interesting to see your newer flat color/pattern-based style mixed with the more render-y approach you used to take. Best of both worlds!

  2. I agree... The heavier coloring is so confident and striking. It takes your work far from student work. Congrats!!!! I can't find the heart because I suck.

    1. It's right underneath the penguin and lemur that are staring longingly into each other's eyes, thinking about what kind of tree climbing non-flying mutant hybrid would result from their procreation. I mean, that's what that looks says to me.
