Twelve Animals by Kentaro Nagai

Rat

Rabbit

Rooster

These are part of the Twelve Animals series of illustrations Kentaro Nagai, a graphic artist. She used the world map to create the twelve animals of the Chinese zodiac. 

I found this on StumbleUpon and I really started to think of my half successful lithograph with the cow brains and mad cow disease. I feel like this would be a perfect medium to attempt this concept again with a better outcome. I'm liking the idea of using a pattern to define the positive and negative space, and it seems like a great concept for a series of work.
