Pink Polka Dots



Big and Little Bunny are gazing out at a pink-polka-dot snowfall! I don't yet have a story for this image, but it would surely be a silly one. I think it's exciting to combine traditional and modern - shading and detail with flat pattern. So in this illustration I paired leaves I collaged digitally out of photos of craft paper with flat, digital polka dots and flat, vector bunnies. The contrast had me hearkening back to this painting I made in early spring this year. The way the flat background contrasts with the shading of the skin - it feels good to me.
