Fireflies...



An illustration a week may be a bit much for me now- so don't be upset if I disappoint you.. :( I will try but I think I may be rushing myself a bit- Anywho, I wanted to share a new illustration that is based on one of my favorite memories from Puerto Rico! Sometimes cameras just can't capture such beautiful moments, maybe an illustration will do. One night, while visiting Las Marias we stepped outside and jumped onto a trampoline. I'd only seen this many stars in the sky one other time, while taking a 13hr overnight bus from Buenos Aires to Mendoza, Argentina. Laying on the trampoline and looking upward at the night sky, I could see the dark outline of palms and tropical leaves, bright stars, and fireflies and shooting stars crossing paths. Listening to creatures scurrying along the forest floor and a waterfall in the distance...
