Homage to a Digital Artist

     The artist I chose to pay tribute to is Jonathan Woodward. Jonathan is a UK based artist who's medium is both traditional and digital collage with a focus on wildlife. He has collaborated with zoos, children's authors, toy manufacturers, a children's television show, and various magazines. On his website, Jonathan offers free Wildlife Activity Kits which are printable templates and patterns that introduce people to the art of collage. He also has a "Pin Club" in which subscribers receive a monthly enamel pin attached to a collectible card backing that he designs.

     I was drawn to Jonathan's work because it is reminiscent of the style of The Hungry Caterpillar, the movie The Little Prince, and in some cases, applique quilting. There is a complex simplicity to this type of work that I find extremely appealing. My work is based on The Barn Owl.
