Illustration Friday -- Jungle


Skyscraper: A Haiku

Our concrete mountains
scaled by pressing a button.
Crowded peak, then sky.

This week's drawing for Illustration Friday's theme "Jungle" was inspired by Cathie's current submission to One Deep Breath.

What a fabulous idea, and rendition. Sometimes it takes a marriage....a marriage of nature and material too. I hear New York is "like a jungle sometimes, it makes me wonder, how I keep from going under...huh, huh, ha ha..."

Can you hear that toon...I have been singing it all week.

All those lush trees atop a crowded sea of buildings, all the tall buildings in beautiful colors, what a cool idea. though it is a concrete jungle and I love how you have portrayed it. The haiku is perfect with your piece. Excellent!

One of your skyscrapers looks like a kazoo!

I wish the concrete jungle I live in looked as pretty as this!

Tokyo factoid for the day:
Shinjuku ward requires all new skyscrapers to include area for a rooftop garden in an effort to cut down on the severe heat island effect we have here.
