Animal Graphics Calendar Art
* * *
What do you call a group of animals?
A special set of animal designs for December and the Christmas season. I wanted this series to be fun and light hearted so I am exploring variations in style and approach as well as wordplay when it comes to what groups of animals are called.
My Cardinal and Blue Jay illustrations have been chosen as winning entires to American Illustration 39!
"A Radiance of Cardinals"
A special animal design for December and the Christmas season. I want this series to be fun and light hearted so I am exploring variations in style and approach.
Poster/calendar design.
A group of cardinals can be called a college, conclave, radiance, or a Vatican.
"A Scold of Jays"
A group of Blue Jays is called a scold, a cast, a party, or a band. They often seem to be arguing so I chose "scold."
"An Obstinacy of Buffalo"
Apparently, a group of buffalo are called an Obstinacy and also a herd or a gang.
Version without type.
"A Sleuth of Bears"
A group of bears is called a "sleuth" or "sloth." This is the first finished piece for a series called "Quilted Animals." I found the names given to groups of animals to be a fun topic for illustration aimed at children.
