Illustration Friday: Save

Be kind to the plants and animals - of our land
Be kind to the plants and animals - of our land
Be kind to the plants and animals - of our land
We’ve got the whole world in our hands

To love and care for the earth means that we will be able to enjoy it for generations.

-- Daria A. Marmaluk-Hajioannou

It was easy coming up with an illustration based off this week's Illustration Friday topic: Save. Of course I immediately think of the obvious -- save the world-- but I have been wanting to create an illustration with that theme for some time now, and this was just the push I needed.

"In Our Hands" was illustrated with colored pencils on acrylic and vintage sheet music. It measures 10 x 10 in.
