House Cats



I found this article at the dailymail.co.uk about Riana Van Nieuwenhuizen. She has taken in orphaned cheetahs, lions and tigers into her home. The look so cute and cuddly it's hard to imagine them as vicious predators.

Charley Harper

Charley Harper was a artist based in Cincinnati. Most of his art was "nature inspired" which I love. Based on his content he did allot of work with The National Park Service, the Cincinnati Zoo and the Hawk Mountain Sanctuary.

Always in Trend

One of my favorite things about animal print is that its timeless. Yes it's "trending" now but this slide show from style.com just proves that no matter what era it is, animals and animal prints have had a presence in fashion. Whether it is from eighties Krizia collections or current Eley Kishimoto it is pretty clear that the animal print will not be extinct anytime soon.
