Riding the sky whale

Belated merry christmas – that stuff goes by way to fast. Anyway here’s an illustration I made for my girl-friend as a present. It now hangs nicely framed on our wall. The pic is 50 cm by 40 cm in size and drawn with ink and watercolor.
I did not have a concept except that I wanted to do something with New York because we both love the city. Originally there should have been a giant hedgehog (which my girl-friend loves) but I did not want to make it look like a monster destroying the city so I went for a whale.

No, the small guy on the back is not a prisoner.

How far would you go?

So, after it is official I can finally post it here. We (my band ALL WILL KNOW) also have a digital single being released prior to our forthcoming album »contact.« It is a nice ballade which is quite different from the rest of the music. So it had to have a cover of course. Time frame: One day. So that’s what I made of it.

I had a sentence from the band Threshold in mind while creating this:
»Energy falls from my hands«
Don’t ask me why.
