This is a reduced reproduction of the very first pen & ink wildlife image that I ever attempted to draw. Combining both full face and profile views of a young male lion, this is where I first developed my "don't worry about doing the whole drawing, just do it one line at a time" theory of doing detailed artwork. While a bit rougher in finish than my later pieces, it still has a fine texture, plus a nice feel for the personality of the animals, through the angle of the heads and their placement on the page.

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 Cougar-white 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.
