Zebra
Date: 11/30/2007
Horses were my first creative inspiration.
The patterns of the zebra were especially interesting. I would become blissfully lost in their beautiful design, much like I do when creating fur on my more detailed pieces.
Tiger

Tigers were also an early inspiration for me. Anything with stripes...
Mother nature remains the supreme artist.
