moodboard for a new Navajo-desert series

I have a passion for cactai. I love their shapes, colours and simplicity.

It's true that some of them have really intricate patterns, but I mean the simplicity of their life.

They don't need much really, do they?

Plenty of sun and light, a bit like me.

I like to see the way their spikes change colour when watered, how vibrant they get.

Maybe I like them so much because they seem so prehistorical. A bit in the way I love dinos.

A while ago, this came out of my passion for dinos and cactai.

Now these incredible plants are inspiring me for a new Navajo-desert series. 

I'm working on a few new drawings and hopefully I'll show you some finished products soon.
