Been working on some preliminary doodle-sketches for Ramesh’s Poem about the Love Affair Between an Elephant and an Ant.
Ramesh is so creative (and wonderfully quirky) to have dreamt up a relationship between such disparate souls! But his charming haiku and poem about this unlikely pair captured my attention and my heart.
Here’s a sample of the poetry prelude to Elephant and ANT to whet your taste for more!

I was drawn to the multi-colored elephant, Bottom left…orange, red, pink…
But is the elephant the boy or the girl…I think the boy yes? since Rattie has a bow….so perhaps green…I just love green!
I like the drawing of the blue one the best…simple, and whimsical at the same time.
What ever color you choose, it will be beautiful!!

I like the blue, but then I wonder — what shall the colo(u)r of the ant be — that’s me; always one step ahead of myself! (Love the look all all the elephants, rattie, and your friend’s wonderful poem!
A poet friend of mine is now working with an artist to develop an illustrated volume of his work. (They don’t know if it’ll be an e-book, DVD, paper book, self-publised or what. But I like the cross over of drawn and written art (and chronic illness/chronic pain) — that’s a large part of the project I hope to lanch once I get the hang of Dragon and learn how to blog, do email, and I hope comment on other folks’ blogs. (Also, there is the need to feel a bit more stable before I lead myself, let alone anyone else, done a new, untrodden (at least in my case) path.)
