Tea and Wisdom
Here we have the Hindu God Ganesh! He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles.
.
The broken tusk symbolises retaining the good, throw away the bad
.
A lot of people as me what my process is.
Usually, first i do some incredibly LAME sketch (omg):
and then i’ll trace it, and scan it, and draw it again in Illustrator, with all the bells and whistles!

Tea and Wisdom belongs to the following groups:
A Vector Tshirts Only Group, Colouring-in Book, Drawn to Cotton- Art on T-shirts, Fantasy Art, Incredible India, thick black outlines and Vector Goodness Lounge Available for sale asT-Shirts

OK so now we’re in India ore? This is very confusing young lady. I thought Japanese and Chinese inspired art was what we could expect from you….so now! what do I do. You must understand this is not amusing at all. And I can assure you that the proper authority will get a letter from me. This will not pass unnoticed….
Just kidding, this is wonderful as usual. I love the simplicity and the fact that one tusk is broken…he ore she is a marked elephant….marked by life :-)
You see in my head there is a lot to organize and keep track of so bye bye for now, and go get’ em
