Illustration Friday: Giant

-
I'm thinking of giant cats. I think the heat has got to me.
Here's a quickie I did and if I have time I'll do a longie too! In case you were wondering why it's so big, this week's word is 'giant'. He looks a bit worried doesn't he poor thing. I wonder what she's asking him?

Summer Breeze

I love the handpainted wallpaper in one of the rooms, so detailed.
