The majestic kings and queens of our most endeared and feared in the animal kingdom. At some time in our lives, most of us have been in love with these powerful creatures. Whether it’s the untouchable and empowering or the wild and dangerous image that draws us in, the undeniable attraction is there.
This project aims to express the strong connections with the unusual.
Simple sketches explore different poses displaying brave love and the gentle side of such interactions.
