NEW! Zoodraws x Born Free USA

I’m so proud to share my collaboration with Born Free USA! Over the past several months, I’ve had the privilege of illustrating Freeman’s story, from the early storyboarding and sketches to the final artwork. Freeman is a wonderful long-tailed macaque who found a new life at Born Free USA’s Texas primate sanctuary after spending ten long years confined to a dog crate.

These illustrations are now part of Born Free USA’s free Virtual Classroom Pet Program, an ethical alternative to live classroom pets that teaches students about animal welfare, conservation, and compassion.
