Paul Bunyan and Babe the Blue Ox


Here's my imagining of the folk legend Paul Bunyan, who to me is the symbol of hearty strength and hard work.

In designing my rendition of Babe the Blue Ox, I imagine him to be generally playful and docile being Bunyan's loyal wilderness companion. But because it is the wilderness, I also imagine Babe can be fierce when necessary.

  2. I can totally see the Disney influence in Babe up there. I loved that cartoon version as a kid and it has definately influenced my envisioning of these characters as an Illustrator myself nowadays.
