Shame on Me

It's been over 2 months since my last post which is .... well ... silly.  I have been doing a lot and my blog has taken a backseat.  I have updated my website, started a newsletter (you can sign up for it in the panel on the right----->), been working on freelance, teaching college classes and working on my "Animals" book.  It's been a great year so far and I hope the greatness grows.  Here are some images I have been working on just so you realize I'm not a liar!

The above images are for my "Animals From History" book which is being featured on my kickstarter page.  I have been posting my backers' sponsored animals and some stories that go along with them on my updates page.  I have made some incredible connections with this project and feel that my sponsors' participation keep growing.  The images from Top to Bottom are as follows:

-Mr. Phox as Shakespeare (backer's drawing)
-The San Diego Zoo Snow Leopards as F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (original will be on sale at -Spectrum Live in May)
-Fenris as Jizo (color studies for backer's painting)
-Mocha as Audrey Hepburn (original will be on sale at Spectrum Live in May)
-Teddy as Kublai Khan (backer's drawing)
-Trixie as Florence Nightengale (backer's drawing)

There are MANY more that are complete, in progress and still in preliminary stages.  I'll try and keep you updated!  As always, thank you everyone for your interest and support!
