Illustration Friday: Tall
This weeks theme is Tall and although I went with the standard “tall man” concept, my thought behind this piece was my grandfather who was an amazing man. I always thought that he could do anything. This is him with me in upstate New York picking stars for me because he was larger than life to me.

Hope you enjoy it! Anyone else have an awesome idea for this weeks theme or thoughts on this illustration – would love to hear from you!

Thank you so much for your kind comment! I have really been working on including subtle patterns in my work this year so I am thrilled that you enjoy them! My drawing style is quite simple and I think that the patterns add a touch of depth.
Have a super day — Brandi

Beautiful! It’s so detailed and designed so well. The color palette is great and I love the decorative, graphic quality of it.
