This is the illustration for a children short story I wrote yesterday.
Too long to post here, if anyone is interested, I'll email a copy :wink:
Those of you close to me, tough luck, you getting emailed anyway :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

For the rest of you, story is about the animals in the picture helping a little blind boy recover his vision and of course, it takes place in the magical land of the Everglades 8) 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)

Only nice comments appreciated, the rest simply taken as a fact of life :P
