Description
This is my initial response to the challenge posed by Helle and Mark, to do something interesting with the alphabet.
I must confess that this A is something I started some years ago, and haven't yet finished. It was on A3 originally and in order to get it into photoshop to tweak I had to scan it in two halves, which is why you can see the join!

Very creative design! I especially like what appears to be a lion's paw (with retractable claws) on the right side.
Very nice pic
Very creative, love your pieces like this.
Clockwork orange springs to mind. I love the weave symbol at the bottom.
WOW! Andrea. What a fantastic A. SO beautiful it is :-)))))) Thank you for sharing it.. looking forward to see the... B :)
The eyes to the left have it !!
Superb illustration !!!
Everyone can see something in this drawing...I see the eyes! Fun to examine
That stripy beak made me think Puffin! That's just the bird watcher in me. A3! that's some doodling!
LOVE this!! Consider me charmed to the tips of my toes. :)
Very clever imagination Andrea.
I was gonna comment on you and Claude today (photosynthesis), but I got swamped with bank stuff...so I set aside tomorrow morning for you two: Then I saw this; and hell's bells: I HAD to comment on this now, since I just did an "ABC" and Helle's done a ton more. Andrea, this is TERRIFIC! I LOVE it! It's got all your wonderful squiggly lines and sinews, it's got a big Celtic thing going on in the bottom, some Pacific Northwest Totems hangin' out, a head, an eye (maybe a few), a genuine Andrea foot with claws, it's got anklets and other (andrea) jewelry and a touch of Yin Yang, Picasso, and a lotta your inimitable imagination. I love it! I hope others pick this up---Tara's threatened---it would be great to see all the variety. Then we can all storm Helle's place and demand our money back...I LOVE this. When you draw, doodle, fly, and get all intricate at the same time, you do things that are totally YOU, and I love it every time. Very old calligraphy meets a big clumpy happy dancing figure. Ze best!!!
My first thought was something Canadian as in Illuminated, A? An odd little bird. Mark already said most of what I was thinking so I'll just add, how do you folks say it? A real corker!
The celtic thing struck me first, and Mark got all the rest. But he failed to mention that 1960s Peter Max/psychedelic feeling, I hope this hasn't been sitting around all that long! Great work!!!
Marvelous work, love it!
Amazing work Andrea. God bless.
Looks like a modern stained glass window.
I love the fractal-feel of it
Very funny drawing. Well done.
judging by the claws, this is A for Attitude!
A very cool "A" Andrea and I like the Mayan symbolism to this drawing!
