New Illustration for “North”

For the Northern Vermont University Visual Arts 2018 Faculty Art Exhibit “North” I exhibited a number of illustrations that I created over the past few years. I also spent time creating a new illustration for my “A is for Alliteration” book that related to the the theme of North.

This one is titled “N is for a nearsighted Napoleonic navy nabob navigating nervous narwals not so nicely through narrows near numbats nibbling nachos, nine nefarious newt ninjas, and naïve nerdy naked mole-rats wedding neither necklaces nor neckties 'neath the nebulous northern night.”

I like long titles.

I am better at drawing creatures than machinery, but I took the challenge from Illustration Friday to draw a contraption of some sort this week. (it took me a lot longer). During the college retreat at Lyndon State last Friday, a bit was said about redundancy (I really like the word). So I decided to play with that as well.

I am only counting one bow tie on the kite.
