THE ENCHANTED WOOD… AN EXCITING, MAGICAL ANIMATED ILLUSTRATION · HAPPY NEW YEAR

The illustration was created as a Christmas greeting and also to introduce the new MDG Almond website.

“Some say that ever ‘gainst that season comes,
Wherein our Saviour’s birth is celebrated,
The bird of dawning singeth all night long.
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad.

The nights are wholesome. Then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,

SO HALLOW’D AND SO GRACIOUS IS THAT TIME.” (William Shakespeare, HAMLET)

We enter the enchanted wood; at the far side there’s a small shelter where we can find warmth and protection. Different animals cross our path; a small, red fox and two white owls are the main characters. The star in the east shines brightly in the sky, guiding us to our destination.

The fifth image is an MDG Almond New Year design for social media.

The final three images were created for a New Year’s card design requested by a law firm.
