There was a short time each year in early spring when the giants fur hadn’t yet moulted and the creature would be easier to find. It had to hide to save it’s hide…
The Illustration Friday word this week is ‘hide’...
I made this image using collaged shapes of paper and then added detailing in coloured pencil and acrylic paint. I had some good old fashioned fun without any digital tomfoolery!

Very brilliant. Wonderful.
yes, exactly what the other two said… it’s great.
This is awesome.
it’s magical!!! i love the trees!
Wow…I don’t know what was collaged or what was painted, but the whole thing came together magically! I love this!
Your work always amazes me – love this one! :)
beautiful!
Oh wow! this is so enchanting. I hope that word works. I love that the monster is on top of the trees and not behind them. Gosh this is just great!
No digital tricks hum? that’s amazing! And it is just beautifully done. I love all of your work, I’m glad I found your website…
LOVE this! I like that you used two meanings of hide and the image is so lovely. I wish I could see a bigger version. Just awesome!
This is pure genius! I love your style and the colours are gorgeous.
Love it: the story, the creature’s flopped ear, the quiltwork of trees…
Thanks, all you lovely people, for your kind and encouraging comments!
Debbie, if you click on the word ‘here’ in the last sentence, a larger version should pop up. I hope it works…
Wow, you are very talented! Love your website, mind if I blog about you sometime on my book/art blog and point people in your direction?
I don’t mind at all…I’d be honoured! Bookbabie, please feel free:)
Brilliant! Great “fairytale-ish” concept. The trees are lovely.
