Like many people around the world, I was extremely moved by the recent tragedy surrounding the hunting and killing of the beloved lion know as Cecil.

In fact, I’ve decided to get personally involved and hopefully our efforts can help educate people and prevent these horrible things from happening in the future.
As some of you may also know I was one of the animators on “The Lion King” – When I heard the news about Cecil I got inspired to create a tribute image. It’s not much but hopefully it will make people think.
UPDATE: 8/5/2015
WOW! I’ve been absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the attention this image has received. The Cecil image and video have been reported on around the globe. It’s been picked up by sites such as Distractify, BuzzFeed, MTV News, Entertainment Weekly, The Hollywood Reporter, The New York Times, The LA Times, USA Today and many more!
I’ve been inundated with requests to offer prints of the image as well. So I am pleased to announce that I am now able to offer two versions of the image as museum quality poster prints. There is a version with and w/o the text.

Furthermore, I am pleased to announce that 100% of the profits from the sale of these images will be donated to WildCRU – The organization that was studying and protecting Cecil and his pride.
