This is a palace no one has ever seen before. It is the smallest palace you've probably ever seen. Ants live in the palace. I hope ants never become stronger than people. I like how it's not real life-and how the artist makes the houses on the leaves.

The queen ant just came out of the palace because the mighty King Solomon has summoned her. It seems as though the artist took a simple outline from his mind and let it flow onto the paper. If you take a close look at the buildings, you can pretend that you have x-ray vision and imagine the ants in their homes and their personalities. This picture reminds me of my sisters, Francesca and Jeannine, because like the picture my sisters are wonderful and creative.
