Hearts + Stars

I’ll be hosting my first solo show this year in May, which means I’m going to relentlessly barrage you with pictures of works in progress.  For the next two months, you’ll be seeing plenty of bunnies, raccoons, foxes, owls – a whole menagerie of animal troops!

The idea for Animal Battle first came about while I sat at my table during Stumptown Comics Fest last year.  The first drawings were a tiiiiiiiiiny bit more violent, but in the year or so since the idea was first born, the concept of Animal Battle has matured into something different altogether.

I’ve been drawing in my sketchbook and developing ideas for some time now, and the concept of Animal Battle has grown to embody things I’m very passionate about: self-empowerment, following your dreams, and the magical power of imagination.

In my mind’s eye, the battlefield will be charged by two Armies: Hearts + Stars and Hands + Eyes.  I’m very excited to finally develop these ideas on paper, and I hope you’ll enjoy seeing the progress.

In addition to my drawings, I’m also making dip-dyed battle flags!  This part has been super fun and I can’t wait to share the final results.

Animal Battle will be opening May 2nd at Pony Club Gallery.  Stick around here for more drawings, or follow me on Instagram (@leetlewolf) or on Facebook for the latest works in progress.

TALLY HO!
