			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Graphic artist and illustrator Si Scott is behind this beautiful and elaborate set of images. Using animals as the base picture, Scott illustrates with delicate lines and decorative frills. I had assumed most of this work was digital, but there is a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uws1eadf_JE">video</a> out there demonstrating his hand drawing abilities. If these are indeed hand drawn, he is an even more phenomenal artist in my mind (no ctrl-z puts you just that much higher in my book)</p>
<p>The Koi illustration is probably my favorite. The fish is captured with a very natural swimming motion while the decorative elements across the fins look just like flowing water. And while it doesn&#8217;t seem to be part of the &#8220;Resonate&#8221; series, the Humming Bird print captures a similar feeling of wings flapping in the air.</p>
<p>I actually have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the Humming Bird print, as I have had several ideas for a humming bird piece of my own going back a couple of years. This might just be too good, and I&#8217;m not sure I would ever be willing to share my own attempts (or even get around to creating one). Still, these are inspiring. Check out some more of Si Scott&#8217;s portfolio at <a href="http://www.siscottstudio.com/">http://www.siscottstudio.com/</a></p>

<p>Below are a few more illustrations in a similar style, but I don&#8217;t think are officially part of the Resonate set. Still worth a look.</p>

<p>If you are interested in purchasing these prints, I found some for <a href="http://www.gelaskins.com/artist.php?Artist=124">sale</a></p>
<p>As a related resource, if you are interested in learning how to work with frills and decorative elements, I recommend Abdizeedo&#8217;s nifty <a href="http://abduzeedo.com/super-cool-frilly-bits-typography">typography tutorial</a></p>
