Los Angeles Zoo. After that

year I started illustrating and caricaturing as a free-lance artist and have been independent ever since.

STORYBOARDS

The Wolf and Lamb is a well known fable of Aesop. I attempted to modernize this classic story on tyrannical injustice in which a victim is falsely accused and killed despite a reasonable defense.
