Illustration Friday - Peace

Dove Image (for Illustration Friday)Sometimes the most traditional imagery still holds power. The dove comes by way of the influence of another, much larger project I’m working on - one which I would tell y’all about, except that I’m afraid to jinx it right now. I enjoyed the chance to work a bit more with line here. The paper I found at the bottom of a drawer in a craft store in Kamata. I really like how the moodiness and violence of the colors contrast with the symbolism of the dove.

Beautiful… I love it!

Very nice contrast! Really like the cutting…

Very nice.
Was it done in the similar method as the Chinese paper cutting?

Exquisite! I love the creamy color of the dove against the orange and brown tones. Beautiful job.

nicely done, lovely.

South Ocean; From what I understand, Chinese paper cutting is usually done with tiny scissors, while I prefer a knife. There’s also a bit more layering and glueing here (the dove is two layers of paper to get the texture and color I wanted).
