Griffin in the glow


I think my favorite after-trip image is the griffin. He's such a cool mix of powers--clawed strength, flight, and serpent's lash.

Tech pen and Daniel Smith w/c on Strathmore Aquarius II paper--the mix of cotton and synthetic that cockles very little. It stays almost soft, a bit like painting on fabric. I'm liking it more and more, though I can only buy it online.

Definitely the paper I'll use for my next custom-made (coptic-bound) sketchbook.

Love this! (somewhere I have a photograph of the same statue, I think...)
Maybe I'll have to start making print-requests for Christmas :)
