This was my first assignment on TMNT in Early 2021. I asked asked to do a Bodega and a pizza shop and generally figure out the look of our nyc streets. This eventually got handed off to Alger Tam and the resulting collab piece became the target for one of Mikros Animation‘s earlier 3d tests. This made it into the movie as a night time shot with April driving down it on her new bike. Ive also included some of my earlier more graphite and ink style sketches.
Jack Jegerke, the proud captor of three cats in the Great Bowling Green Neighborhood Cat Roundup, after leading his pals in the cleanup campaign conducted by the Bowling Green Neighborhood Association, March 28, 1925. More than a thousand homeless cats, ekeing out a filthy existence along the waterfront, were gathered in and given homes by the children.

I found this paragraph from an article by Linda Oatman High for you:
"Elephants do grieve, and they are one of the few animals who are similar to humans in mourning patterns. Believe it or not, elephants cry. They bury their dead and pay tribute to the bodies and to the bones. Scientists have observed that elephants feel empathy: they toss dust upon the wounds of fellow elephants, they help others climb out of mud and holes, they even have been seen plucking tranquilizing darts from one another with their trunks. Researchers have observed elephants trying to help dying friends, lifting them with tusks and trunks, crying out in distress."
When zebras and camels roam the streets of New York, it can mean only one thing: the circus is in town. Just off the train from winter quarters in Florida, the animals make their way west on East 49th Street to Madison Square Garden, April 3, 1942 for the opening of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus.
