Artist's Comments

I keep doing these little...things. I dunno what to call 'em--studies or doodles or noodling around with abstractions, or something. They're not terribly complicated, they're a bare step up from a scrap, and I'm not sure why I'm doing them, but for lack of anything better to do, I keep doing them, and then for lack of any place to put them, slap 'em up here and subject my long-suffering viewers to them. Possibly my muse has a plan somewhere that this is all leading to. Failing that, at least whatever future art historian is saddled with me as their undergrad project will have a handy spot to break thing up between my Weird Period, my Weirder Period, my What The Hell Was She Thinking Period, and of course, the Cute But Really, WTF Period.

This is that lovely species, Gulo gulo, the wolverine. Specifically, it's a wolverine at the Minnesota zoo that I took a photo of three or four years ago. Wolverines are oddly inoffensive looking beasts, for something with a reputation like a meat grinder with feet. They look surprisingly cuddly, in fact, rather more so than a lot of members of the weasel family, sort of like a ferret crossed with a labrador. You want to hug them. You wouldn't get your arms or your face back afterwards, mind you, but still, the urge is there.

Anyway, 9 x 8.5, original is for sale, prints available. Drop a note or visit [link]

Fantastic. I don't care that you say it's really simple, the realizim is amazing. Certainly much better than I could do.

Being homosexual is only a disadvantage on an evolutionary basis.
Being bigoted, however, will really mess up society.

You have perfectly captured that cuddly look that belies the instant mutilation beneath the fur. My first thought was, "Awww I wanna pet him!" My second was, "WTF are you thinking?!?! It's a WOLVERINE!!" Please keep posting these "studies" or whatever you call them.--AG

Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does.... -Groucho Marx

That's lovely, great effect with the fur and the plotchy lining... thing... border.. you know. >>

Wolverines are very cuddly... of course, I find Tazmanian Devils cuddly so....

Weird is good.

I hope you don't think I'm not putting enough stock in your main character here. But I absolutely love your background textures, all of them. they make me wish I could touch them. Beautiful! Can you please let me know or give me some pointers on how you do them?
:iconagent-elrond:
You silly person --- this is the original Wolverine! =D
