The topic for Illustration Friday this week is Primitive. This is probably a bit of a stretch to say that American Bison are primitive, but they are some of my favorite animals, so here goes the stretch...
I can only imagine what European settler thought of these great and massive mammals as they encountered them on the Plains. To learn more about American Bison/ Buffalo, visit these sites:


Gorgeous! I love the feeling of light in the background and the border on the bottom. Textures are great, too.
