The Idea

I’ve been playing the piano since I was a kid and it’s one of my favorite instruments. The elephant is a totem of mine, and features in a lot of my paintings and imagery. Doodling and painting for me is as much fun as ”˜tickling the ivory’ and these two main features come together in this painting as a whimsical form for the cover.
