URBAN ZOO ART TOUR
20 stops, 3 sponsors, for 47 days of the Spring and Summer seasons, I'll be touring the city, exhibiting and sharing my latest pride in paintings and stuff: animals, both comforted and distressed, in an array of uncanny habitats, patterns, and behaviours. Pet with your eyes, not with your hands! Admission is free. Bring your family and bring your friends.
Open your eyes, there's a Spring Frog on the loose !
