The Chameleon

I chose the chameleon primarily because I knew little about this animal and have always been intrigued by its ability to change colour.  My research led me to African and Madagascan proverbs.
The chameleon represents wisdom, caution and adaptation; I have used this to highlight environmental awareness.  Maybe we could learn from the chameleon's ability to adapt and change in order to live more harmoniously on the planet?

I decided to create some illustrated proverbs and print them on T-shirts.  I spent a few hours making a linocut for the text below.  The result was not so much disappointing as exciting.  It was my first attempt at a linocut for typo.  I am looking forward to doing many more.
