"This was a commission for a very supportive client whose wife adores hippos. Not normally one to take on specific commissions, I was quite nervous to be drawing the animal, which was someone's passion.
Overcompensating for my fear that I might not have fulfilled the brief, I strived extra hard to make sure my finished result would be my ultimate hippo picture.
To this day I am still pleased with this picture, particularly the scarred skin on the side of the bull." Pencils, Patience and Primates. David Dancey-Wood 2007.
