Animal Pen and Inks from the late 1980s


Moms are so special, and my mom blew me away when she happily unearthed some old pen and inks from ages ago. I'd forgotten all about them, especially as after I drew them and began my professional career, all thoughts of art floated off in the breeze. [The breeze started to blow them back again about three years ago, and that's this blog story.]

Anyway, maybe the old pictures are worth posting. Disclaimer though, the elk and white-tailed deer pictures are from a National Geography book I found in my university library and was constantly borrowing. The only trouble is, I have no recall whatsoever of the title or even the year it was published, but certainly before the mid-1980s. If anyone knows, please please please share, because I so want to find and buy that book!
