Giggle, Tickle Up In The Air (Giraffes)

This feels like revisiting my baby from 2009. If you are fans of ecopatterns, you are probably familiar with this tall animal that I designed last year, the giraffe. I’d like to re-introduce my giraffe with another little one in a pair for the 2010 collection. I adjusted it a little bit here and there from the original line art that I made for t-shirts adding the little cutie to keep the big one company. I guess the big one must’ve told some kind of joke that make the new little friend giggle up there.

“Sea Otters Sing Many Songs”

I finally finished my sea otters painting on a rainy day because I couldn’t go play anywhere. When I started researching sea otters, I automatically thought that these little guys really like to play while they are swimming and napping in the water. Unfortunately, people hunt them so often for fur and they have to run away from the predators in the sea. That’s the reason they are still categorized as endangered.

The Swirl of Fun

Swirls of fun may not happen often because of man’s greed. The number of their population shocks me the most and it also inspired me to create this piece. I have moments in my head when I think about “whales”; but I also continue research about them to learn more. The movement underwater of these mammals are as beautiful as ballerinas performing under the sea. I hope whaling people rethink how they are treating the largest mammals on earth.

I finally designed the animals that inspired me to start ecopatterns, polar bears. I still used the same concept of combining leaves, nature elements with the real figures of each animals. For 2010 themed paintings, I keep company for these endangered animals, so they don’t look lonely and too still. I studied the movement of polar bears for a while before I started sketching. While I was doing research about them, I’ve seen a lot of loving and playful behaviour between mother and babies. That’s what inspired me to create this piece with their natural behaviour that they regularly show to each other.
