A while ago I stumbled upon a lovely Etsy shop called Ben Censervato and I ended up browsing through an amazing collection of wonderful, weird hand crafted animals for a long time. They’re so lovely. And there are so many! Most of them are originals, and some are available as DIY kits and downloadable files too.
Ben Coservato is run by Emma Kid; an Australia based artist, illustrator, printmaker and photographer who spends most of her time creating things. The creatures below and more are currently available in her shop.
I love these! I have friends who are tiger biologists studying distribution and habitat for their PhD research. They identified individual tigers by their strips and I noticed that all 4 of the Tigers had different strip patterns. Art imitating life. 🙂
