Aesops Illu

Did this for illustration 1 in Barron's class. We had to pick up an aesop's fable and make a poster for a company that does stuff with aesop. We also had to add a 3d element to the final version. I picked "The Trees and the Axe":
A Man came into a forest, and made a petition to the Trees to provide him a handle for his axe. The Trees consented to his request, and gave him a young ash-tree. No sooner had the man fitted from it a new handle to his axe, than he began to use it, and quickly felled with his strokes the noblest giants of the forest. An old oak, lamenting when too late the destruction of his companions, said to a neighboring cedar: "The first step has lost us all. If we had not given up the rights of the ash, we might yet have retained our own privileges and have stood for ages."
In yielding the rights of others, we may endanger our own.
