Animals

Every couple of months, I become obsessed with a different animal. I will continuously draw this animal, talk about this animal, and watch documentaries on this animal until a new animal strikes my fancy. This started a few years ago with monkeys. For many months, I spent all my time googling pictures of monkeys. I wanted to own a spider monkey so bad I thought I would literally die.

Look at his little face and crazy yellow legs. This thing is adorable.

After a while, I got tired of monkeys. I moved on. If I remember correctly, my next obsession was octopi. I loved octopi more than I had ever loved monkeys. I watched a documentary about them on NatGeo, and, though it was a bit scary, it reinforced how magnificent they are.

After all, octopi are more awesome than your mom.

While my octopi love was still going strong, I bought this ring in gold:

Even though I've moved on, I still love this ring. I would save it in a fire.  Also, I know that this is not steampunk. 

But then, I discovered a little known animal called "Bear."I loved bears more than anything. I drew bears everywhere, I made bear noises, I watched bear videos, and I bought a polar bear sweater:

I even started a blog about bears.

Recently, I've moved away from bears...but I'll keep the blog and the sweater. Now, I'm crushing on narwhals. So majestic. Just look at that face:

For a short time between bears and narwhals, I was in love with wolverines. 

There's really no telling what the next animal will be...
