    great work Penelope!

  2. I heart this illustration. The “staining” is almost like a rorschach test. Nifty!

    Great Image! There’s something about going to the basics of black and white. I love the way the smudges gives the image a feel of a hand made print.

    Very nice! The black and white is quite distinctive. And I just have to comment on how cute those little giraffe butts are. Strange thing to notice? Okay.
