Welcome to the Zoo!

I enjoy sketching animals whenever I'm not drawing fish. Animals have always fascinated me. As a kid, I had caught and raised a variety of species. Growing up in North Carolina, I had lots of opportunities. By the time I was 17, I had caught every species of lizard and skink in the Audubon Society book that I treasured. We had raised doves, guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils, snakes, chameleons, lizards, skinks, rabits, cats, dogs, parakeets, frogs, toads, and everything in between. Then my family moved to Indonesia where they adopted a slow loris, parrots, geckos, and a whole bunch of half-wild Indonesian cats. The antics of all those goofy little critters are pretty entertaining, so once in a while I'll try to capture some of the fun in a quick sketch.
