Work in progress - a traditional theme in Polynesian artwork, the turtle or 'honu' symbolises the navigator that is able to find its way home time and time again - and a representation of guardian spirits that were believed to take the form of animals.
I love bringing depth to these traditional styles with careful pointillism dot work, giving shading and pattern instead of just solid heavy lines all over.
