Illustration Friday: "Hybrid"


Fog

                                          The fog comes
                                          on little cat feet.

                                          It sits looking
                                          over harbor and city
                                          on silent haunches
                                          and then moves on.

                                                                    -Carl Sandburg

    I fear for the city!
    Super technique, fun image. The extra paws and tails work so well.

      Thank you! No worries. Once the sun comes up and burns away the fog, all will be well.

    I love this piece and am interested in buying it (or a copy). Let me know if that's possible. Fog is one of my favorite Sandburg poems.

      Thank you, Daniel! It's not possible, I'm afraid. The original has been sold and I don't currently offer prints of this piece.
