cross-post: wood inspiration

i'm currently working on a drawing for a ready-to-order set to add to the nic notes marriage line. it involves winter, and wood, and all those great outdoor things.

so i started thinking, how many illustrations out there really involve wood? how many will inspire me? well, i have my answer. check it out:


 aesop's fable cover, illustration by milo winter.

 we in winter woods, morton lloyd garchik.

Nic, I love these illustrations you found - especially the old woman in the tree. I am somewhat tree-obsessed when it comes to artwork, including both art I enjoy and things I've made myself. There's something I love about how seemingly linear trees are, yet at the same time so complex and unique. Worlds to play with!
Good luck with your new woody piece then!
