Illustration Friday: Leap

 
There's a slight possibility it could rain frogs at IF this week.

I'm sure you've heard of this, but maybe haven't thought about it very much or very recently. So here I am to remind you...throughout history there have been reports of for-real frog-rain. 

It could happen to you.

Really.

They say it's caused by a big wind (like a tornado) picking them up from a body of water...then just depositing them somewhere else. Somewhere they most likely don't belong. In 1981, frogs from Africa landed in Greece. Poor little guys...if the people experiencing this thought it was weird and creepy, imagine how messed up those poor little frogs felt.

It can also be caused by lots of other illustrators thinking of frogs when they hear the word "leap". The cool thing about other illustrators, though, is I have no idea what they'd think of. But it could happen, you never know.

I love the soft light feel to this piece .

I have read about the frogs raining from the sky....and , sardines, jellyfish, alligators and maybe - just maybe - cows! Type in raining frogs fish on Google. It is the first link that comes up.
