A thought on Elephants

2008-12-22T16:34:00.000-08:00

I think it would be pretty cool if elephants delivered christmas presents. Not that Santa and his Reindeer aren't doing a Stella job.
They just might want a rest, thats all I'm saying.

My entry for Amelia's Magazine's latest brief, "Everything is Connected", which
was turned down. It was a bit rushed, so I can see why and
I'm not entirely sure it answered the brief.

My photoshop is being naughty today so I had to save this is as a jpeg, bleurgh!
