Mandrill

I just added my newest piece titled “Mandrill” to my gallery. I love it. Right now I’m in the process of completing one involving a polar bear, as bears are the animal that have scared me more than anything. Give me sharks, tigers, snakes, and I’ll be fine. When I was 5 years old I went to the zoo, and I was looking at the grizzly bear exhibit. A giant Kodiak stared me down, slowly got up, and came barreling at me, full speed. Growling, drooling, galloping. I was screaming at the top of my lungs. It stopped within 5 feet of me. The only thing between us was a trench and some glass…… and a future dinner date that would never come to pass, or at least I hope. So I have developed a disdain and fascination for the creature because it does what few things can really do. It scares me.
