tiger tiger
Although I drew these tigers last year, I’ve only just managed to get them into the gallery. They were all part of a calendar I was commissioned to draw up for a Thai publisher – MAC Press. The brief; to include twelve Thai idioms related to tigers. Unbelievably there are far more than twelve! I chose the ones I liked most and brought them to life. This one was one of my favourites – the Tiger protects the forest as the forest is in turn protected by the Tiger, a mutual relationship.
They gave me a lot of freedom so I chose to colour them by hand – not my usual Photoshop filling in. I made sure there was a mix of round, silly faces and majestic fierceness throughout. I tried, anyway! My other favourite is the one with two Tigers, I thnk I was most pleased with it. Have a look in illustration page 2) and you’ll see all the Tiger drawings nestled together. Happy clicking!
Go, tiger!
