watercolour ©Caroline Soer 2010Transportation is this week's Illustraton Friday theme. In this watercolour pencil and ink piece, the wind is whisking the little mouse with his parasol up into the air and his friends try to rescue him! The image is a little small, but if you click and then click again you'll get a better view.
I thought I'd add a few photos - below are some local means of transportation.
Malaccan trishaw
Hong Kong Rickshaw
Hong Kong Rickshaw
Singaporean Ox cart
Doggie stroller - Hong Kong!
Lovely Illustration <3

The facial expressions on these mice are so cute. Such fine details Caroline. I have to giggle at the doggie stroller. Only in Asia. Hahahahah!
ReplyDeleteThis illustration is so sweet. I like to see mice, in sketches. What interesting vehicles of transportation you have seen and used. Such a different world than I am used to.
