Tiger Hug

shoutOut on 7/10/08 by Colwyn in

I enjoy coupling the ferocity, size and power of an animal like a tiger with the relative frailty of a child. I like to think we all have hidden powers. the point of this illustration therefore is to get us thinking – just what does this little girl have about her that makes her equal to a massive tiger.
She may be dreaming.
She may even have just died and the tiger is a kind of taxi ride to…heaven.

I firmly believe that Colwyn Thomas is one of the most talented and relevant artists in South Africa today.

WOW – That’s harsh – I cannot agree at all -this has been one of our most popular tees – It will be one of the first to go to reprint. Demand is MASSIVE!

It looks good but i wouldn’t put it on anything but a kids shirt.
I saw your stuff at bigwood 2 in durban. Your pencil illustrations are amazing!
Was expecting more form you to be honest.

Reminds me of “Spirited Away”, a full length anime feature directed by the master of all things anime Hayao Miyazaki. Great movie, great design!
