This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Hidden. The streets were empty, and all the humans had gone home for the night. That was when the animals emerged from the hidden trap door in the floor.
Oh, mysterious, but it can happen! I often think of creatures like gnomes, or elves, which can never be seen because they are always behind us. when we turn they have the quickness to be always behind. Your art and your words have brought me back the thought. good work, friend!
This is my posting for this week's Illustration Friday theme, Imagination. In many cultures, the raven was a symbol of communication with the imagination, and subconcious. It was also viewed as sometimes being a mischievous trickster. At times the sun will strike its feathers at the right angle, and reveal an iridescent band of colour.
This is my posting for the Illustration Friday theme, Totem. Totem is defined as a natural object or animal believed by a society to have spiritual significance, and adopted by it as an emblem. Crane mythology has a long history in many cultures (particularly in Asia) as symbolic of happiness and eternal youth. In Japan, the crane is one of the mystical or holy creatures, and symbolizes good fortune and longevity. It has a fabled lifespan of a thousand years. An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane. After WWII, the crane came to symbolize peace and the innocent victims of war.

Oh those pesky creatures - perhaps they are responsible for objects that go missing (keys, socks, etc.,)? Thanks, Roberto!
