Illustration Friday: Island...

Here's my submission for this week's Illustration Friday. The theme for this week is, "island." As soon as I heard the theme, I knew that I wanted to do a floating island. It's surprising to see how previlant this archetypal image appears throughout various mythologies. The piece is made up of layers of collage, washes of acrylic paint, and pen and ink. I've also woven in papers as well for added texture and depth.
