Description HIPPO DIP'N...........DAVIS II

WATER COLOR on 140Lb. paper

I the Republic of the Congo there is a 95% decline of Hippopotamus as a result of hunting them for meat and IVORY.

Yes true enough the sick bastards hunt them for the ivory in their teeth.

Nice water work, i like how you made it like the head pop out of the water. Making it look like it coming out of the paper

It's great to read your comments, I spend a fair amount of time on my paintings, I have a Bengal Tiger on my site that took 2 weeks to complete

HIPPO DIP,N

I think this would be a great idea.
I do have a request before you go ahead with your tatoo.

Would you be willing 2 buy a 9" x 12" glossy photo through Deviant Art Store.

That way you have a professional photo to show your tatoo artist and you become part of history by becoming my 1st customer on Deviant Art

I believe the photo is around $9 - 10 dollars
After you get the tatoo, you take a photo of it and Submit it to Deviant art . tell me when you do and I in turn will buy a photo of your tatoo and my artwork , then you make a few $$ also. Sounds like a WIN - WIN


Think about it and get back 2 me .........See ya soon

I feel sorry 4 these BIG BEAUTIES, their numbers are still depleating.

Some people can't get out of their careless ways, and I am saying this without being nasty.

Thanks for the viewing and lets hope we SAVE the HIPPOS.

Amazing work! I'm extremely impressed by the detail! (in watercolor too! *whistles*)
It makes me sad about the Congo though. I could almost understand the meat, but hunting for ivory is just wrong...
