Illustration Friday: Ahead

For this week's Illustration Friday, I'm submitting an older piece from 2003, inspired by a spring break trip to the National Museum of Natural History and a nod to my then-boyfriend’s (now husband) favorite ancient marine reptile. The turtle unknowing swims ahead of the girl behind him, who in turn unknowingly swims ahead of the plesiosaur behind her.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

You really captured the magic of swimming with a sea turtle. I've snorkeled by one. Luckily we don't have eyes in the back of our head though. Who knows what's sneaking up behind us. Sharks, eels or maybe plesiosaurs. In my case it's usually just Dean.

Hey Christina! Your sea turtle ROCKS! Great illustration and so perfect for the prompt. I hope plesiosaurs only eat fish. :o)
