Celtic Tree

A friend commissioned banners of three celtic symbols a few months ago - tree, fire, and wind. I designed them, and painted the originals. In an attempt at learning Adobe Illustrator better, I decided to try and clean the designs up a bit. I believe this is the first art I've ever made on the computer (not counting photography). I take some comfort in knowing this design started as a pencil sketch and then was painted before it became digital (in real paint! Acrylic even. None of that Photoshop fake digital stuff some people call painting. Stealing perfectly good terms for your evil computer things). I need none of that fake computer art! Now time to go hide from my digital artist friends and their well paying jobs.
