Song of the Space Turtle

This was the image that spawned the Space Turtle series. I really have very little idea where this came from. I was working at the Indianapolis Zoo

at the time, and I came back from Borders one evening and suddenly this image jumped into my head. Quite literally; I stopped at a stop sign on the

way home and scrambled for my sketchbook so I could scribble a (totally illegible) thumbnail of the idea. It was completely random, but the idea was

entertaining enough that I've returned to it several times now, and am slowly starting to get a better idea of just what this turtle is doing, flying

around the universe with a jetpack.
