Illustration of a fox
by John Potter - Escape Key Graphics

This illustration was hand drawn using graphite pencils on bristol board. The final drawing was scanned on a flatbed scanner.
This drawing is to be used on drink coasters at a new pool at the Boca Grove Golf & Tennis Club in Boca Raton, Florida. They had an example of a coaster they liked. It was a one color drawing that looked a little like an etching of a gharial wearing an old fashioned ladies' wicker hat with a butterfly perched on the tip of her nose.
They asked for a similar concept integrating an iguana, and then this fox for the flip side. I thought cognac was a suitable drink for a fox. It also has special glasswear like the absinthe the iguana is drinking.
