wow, thanks guys. after doing a stint of "serious" ones, i decided to do something more playful and illustrate sylas' 5 favorite animals and what came out is what you have before you...
thanks for the feedback, i'd love to explore this style more too.

Thanks Phil. Hey, you should have prints made of that painting - Katie and I would want one. Just a thought.
