Everyone has to start somewhere, and I got my start doing wildlife images with this study of the king of the jungle, a full maned monarch of all he surveys. (Note the use of negative space in this image, with the tall, waving grass in front of the figure. This was not done by painting white over the drawing, but literally was a matter of not drawing into the space, leaving it blank to suggest the stalks of grass.)
--Info on the printing process, plus care & feeding instructions--
This is an open-edition print, created from a film negative made directly from the original pen and ink artwork, then retouched by the artist, and printed by offset lithography on Mountie Matt paper stock. Mounting and matting materials are either low-acid or acid-free. To maintain the quality of this work, do not display it where it will be exposed to direct sunlight for extended periods, or to extremes of temperature or humidity. I also recommend that you look at it once it is up on your wall (at least six times a week is considered the minimum), or else it will get sad and lonely, and the tear-stains will make it look less attractive.
