Selecting your photos for animal art

Your photos

Since the quality of the finished artwork you will receive is directly relative to the quality of the reference material provided, the larger and clearer the images you submit to us will increase the overall quality of the finished art you will receive. For this reason we ask that you send in additional images with descriptive notes on them so we can use them for additional reference while creating your portrait.

If your images are old or the image quality is too poor, all is not lost. For an additional fee we are able to use other outside reference sources in combination with your existing images in order to produce a beautiful portrait done in the spirit and likeness of your animal.

Since I have never personally seen your animal, all I have to go on is the reference materials you send me. Please, do not be shy, send us additional photos and notes to help us identify those details that are unique to your animal. The rule for reference is (the more the merrier). We will of course return all of your reference materials along with your finished portrait.

Study reveals how fishing gear can cause slow death of whales
Using a "patient monitoring" device attached to a whale entangled in fishing gear, scientists showed for the first time how fishing lines changed a whale's diving and swimming behavior. The monitoring revealed how fishing gear hinders whales' ability to eat and migrate, depletes their energy as they drag gear for months or years, and can result in a slow death.
Fourteen closely related crocodiles existed around 5 million years ago
Today, the most diverse species of crocodile are found in northern South America and Southeast Asia: As many as six species of alligator and four true crocodiles exist, although no more than two or three ever live alongside one another at the same time. It was a different story nine to about five million years ago, however, when a total of 14 different crocodile species existed and at least seven of them occupied the same area at the same time, paleontologists say.
