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. (Read More) – As you may be able to tell I am a HUGE animal lover and it drives me crazy when I see these beautiful creatures destroyed for no good reason. 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.
ORDER PRINTS:
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.

Exclusive inside Gov. Scott Walker's winnebago 05:24 Story highlights
Washington (CNN)Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is holding onto a high-interest credit card from Barclays and paying an interest rate of 27.24%, according to his personal financial disclosure form .. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2015/images/08/03/walker.pdf .
The Walker campaign did not immediately return requests for comment.
According to the Walker form, the card was issued last year and Walker owed between $10,000 and $15,000 on it at its highest point. (Reporting requirements mandate candidates report the largest amount of debt carried on an individual card, or loan, but give them a range to report.)
The interest rate is high by most standards, although Walker does have another card from Bank of America with a similar credit limit but only 11.99 percent interest, according to the form.
The latest Walker disclosure also shows him carrying at least $100,000 in student debt for his two sons, who are attending college.
Among the field of Republican contenders, Walker has one of the most modest personal financial standings. He earned $222,899 as governor -- a little more than $145,000 a year -- but only holds between $36,000 and $190,000 in investments, according to the report. Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush is a multimillionaire and frontrunner Donald Trump has famously claimed to be worth $10 billion.
Walker was also advanced $45,000 for his book "Unintimidated," which later became the name of the super PAC supporting him.
.. what is a guy in Walker's position, ex Gov., a presidential candidate, with a credit card debt costing 27.24%?? .. what's going on with these people? ..
