The Elephant Tree - book illustration
The elephant tree is a 7 story castle-like treehouse for elephants. After their long journey, the elephants are busy harvesting giant apples high up in the tree's branches.

This drawing is a part of a children's book I am illustrating and writing. It is a different book than the elephant/penguin book also featured on my photostream. There is no publishing date yet as I am still working on the drawings. In the mean time, I hope you enjoy them here on Flickr.
