Artist Aaron Blaise knows a thing or two about lions. He contributed his animation skills to the hit Disney film, “The Lion King.”
Blaise wrote on his website, “Like many people around the world, I was extremely moved by the recent tragedy surrounding the hunting and killing of the beloved lion know as Cecil. As you may be able to tell I am a HUGE animal lover and it drives me crazy when I see these beautiful creatures destroyed for no good reason."
To honor Cecil, Blaise created a digital image of the lion. Prints of the image are for sale on the artist's website, with 100 percent of the profits going to WildCru, the organization that was studying Cecil.
I'm extremely excited and honored to have been covered on Distractify.
