This is a page spread that just worked from the start. I wanted to place four verses of text, two on each wing and leave the monkey in the middle. I don't remember doing a second sketch for this one, so it went from here to Illustrator. This was the first page spread that I actually locked down and called finished. I'm still kind of happy with it, even though I rarely like my own artwork after a (short) time. Maybe the best kind of illustrations work because they commuinicate, which is not dependant on excellent art per se. The verses that the page was designed for was about protest and counter protest in a divided society with the ape as a pawn between. If you think that it works let me know.
