Description
Binturongs are Asiatic bearcats, a jungle-dwelling weaselly creature that resembles, more or less, an arboreal wolverine with a prehensile tail and whisker issues. Also, they smell like popcorn. No kidding. Rangy, gamy, somewhat musky popcorn, I'll grant you, popcorn that could use a little deodorant, really INTENSE popcorn that needs a shower something fierce--but popcorn. Go to the zoo and sniff the binturongs. It's popcorn. Nature is cool.This was the hardest of the three. It's also arguably the simplest, but I kept doing and redoing the composition, and changing the text, and gnashing my teeth. Finally, I did this one, and got the binturong's expression right. And that was all I needed. Everything fell into place after that. If I redid it, I could do the composition any number of ways, I could do anything with the bunnies, but I'd want to keep the poor bewildered binturong's expression.
Anyway! We have prints! In fact, we have a whole print SET! For a mere $20 plus shipping, you can get A, B, and C all together ($10 savings off buying 'em seperately) in small, or for $50 and shipping, all three in jumbo. Great for kids! Great for people expecting kids! Great for libraries! Great for people with large vocabularies who like obscure animals, which I suspect forms a striking majority of my audience! Send a note! We will also have the sets at Anthrocon, so visit the dealer table (hell, visit anyway and say hi!)

I checked all of the 3 A B C pieces, and this one is my favourite, the expression of the binturong seducted me, I believe. I took a look at your gallery aswell and it is definitively great! Keep up the good work!

you realize, if this doesn't eventually mature into a fully grown book that i can use to twist and pull the minds of my offspring with, im gonna be real sad. i may have to direct my army of hummers (birds not vehicles,(although a couple of the ones i radiated have become rather large) like i could afford the gas for an army of any cars, let alone hummers) straightaway to buzz you mercilessly at every opportunity.....or at least when you're filling the feeders. this is NOT a threat, you know i adore you and would never threaten you. it is merely a warning from one female who is totally aware of how irrational she can be to another.

So they smell like popcorn eh? I wonder if they would taste like popcorn and would it be plain, butter, carmel, ect... it might prove interesting to eat a popcorn flavored weasel steak.... lol... great work!

*laughs hysterically* What was this about you not doing a set? *her eyes and brows are set in a questioning way* Anywhoo, I love what you've already done and it's nice to see something completely original like this every so often.
Out of all my watched people, you happen to be my most favorite. Your art is superb. I only wish that I could buy some of it.
*wonders if you'll continue through the whole alphabet* Anyways, I like how you're sticking with the brown, by making everything basically one color, you make it look as if it's from an old book. I like how you haven't used a lot of colors on these images.
To say, the images would be great for a young kids book, but the text wouldn't, but that's just the fun of it. Just wondering, have you made full colored pieces of the set so far, or are they all brown?

So can we call these ones Sepia Animalia? Reminds of Graeme Base's book, and all. But the expression IS perfectly confused. I kinda like the rabbits, too. ...Oh, and that font/text is GREAT.
