I’ve been pretty busy with freelance work lately, so I haven’t done an Illustration Friday in a while. That all changes this week.This week’s topic was caged. I drew a big caged gorilla in Illustrator. Enjoy! |

Hopefully the summer slump ends a little early and things pick up in August. iStock did rally a bit at the end of the month, but not enough to recover from the beginning.
