The Marshland Study

The Tenacity of the Great Bull Born from the studio and inspired by the sheer, imposing scale of the North Woods' most iconic inhabitant, this illustration captures the stoic majesty of the moose through an intentional, artistic lens. "I’ll never forget standing in front of a moose for the first time. Granted it was in a museum in D.C., haha but the scale was astonishing—it made me feel incredibly small," says Jordan. "When I sat down in Adobe Fresco to draw this on my iPad, I wanted to capture majestic profile of the moose. I played with deep textures and a vibrant green and orange palette to mimic the way a sunrise catches the ripples in a marshland, framing the bull in a moment of stillness."
