2: Sealey's Hippo(s)

Leslie Sealey
American Hippo (original created recent years but date unknown)
Available as limited edition giclée print on artist's website

Currently working out of San Angelo TX, Sealey does more straightforward representational work as well (and very pretty!), but I'm pretty attached to all her happy  hippos.

(Note: These domestication scenes are cute, but hippos are deeply territorial [and huge, with big teeth, and kind of fast] and are actually believed to kill hundreds of people each year. Please put on the 'do not attempt to ride for reals' list.)
