The Argonaut (blue and pink on blue background)

The Argonaut (blue and pink on blue background)This piece grew from a logo I did for a company in Orlando. It was for a team project thing and they were called the Argonauts. In researching Argonauts I found some cool pics of the argonaut octopus and thought it would be a good combination with a ships wheel because it is named after the ancient Greek sailors. The argonaut in this drawing is a female. The thing on her head or back is an eggcase. They are also known as paper nautiluses and are found

I once read of an ancient myth that the earth was formed on the back of a turtle traveling through the cosmos

As an artist I’ve always gotten a sort of therapy and contemplation while working on my art

I researched Seminole Indian patterns and found out that their patterns often depicted animals

Seahorses like so many creatures in the sea are almost other worldly

Drawing at this scale has really inspired me

These cut out pieces are big vary in price and size

In my previous turtle drawing "The Earth Builder" I did a combination of African and Australian tribal patterns

Sea turtles are just about the coolest animals around

How things can be so familiar

See the turtle of enormous girth

I can't guarantee the same frame because I get all my frame from thrift stores

The loose nature and absence of patterns made this piece no exception
