A. mississippiensis



The topic for this weeks If "Fierce". Being raised in the swamps I have a special place in my heart for reptiles. The fiercest and the coolest of all these creatures is the alligator! They have been around for millions of years, like basking in the sun, and kill their prey by dragging them down and doing a death roll. You can tell a gator from a croc cause their snouts are rounder and flatter, they show fewer teeth when their mouths are closed, live in fresh water and are more blackish in color. Just watch yourself by any body of water if you are down south....they are everywhere! Respect the Gator and he won't bite ya! Yay! Reptiles!

Cat Hoarder



This week's topic for Illustration Friday, Hoard. The other day I saw a story about an animal hoarder who was arrested for having like 150 cats in her home....I'm not kidding. They mean well....but normally dont have the means to take care of all the animals....like 150 cats! Its usually related to OCD, addiction or dementia. Although Wikipedia tells me that cat hoarding might be related to the Toxoplasma gondii parasite, which render the infected host attracted to cats....Interesting. Anyways, I didn't feel like drawing a bunch of dead cats for this topic, so I tried to keep it a little lighter! Thanks!

wrin·kly rhino feet


I took this picture of rhino feet at the zoo one day, thought it would make a rad pic! And turns out the topic for Illustration Friday is wrinkles! Which will make this my first post for it! Yay! Random fact: Rhinos have keen hearing and sense of smell, but poor eyesight, so they sometimes charge trees and rocks, thinking they are threats. That is all.
