These first images here are fairly abstract, simplified. I hope that in the coming 35 days I will produce some differing styles .... I'd like to produce some more realistic tapir pictures before I'm done.
Chris, I think your tapirs are really delightful - the shapes are outstandingly tapirlike. It will be interesting to follow and see what evolves. I'm so thrilled you were encouraged to do this again. I was just looking at your last-year's tapir the other day.

Last year, to celebrate World Tapir Day, I made 30 clocks. The year before that it was 'Taprons' (Tapir inspired Aprons). In 2010 I painted thirty 4" x 5" canvases. In 2009 I made thirty wooden tapirs. All the money raised from these four projects went to the Tapir Preservation Fund.
This year I intend to produce thirty Kalimbas (thumb pianos).
Once again the amount you give will be entirely up to you.
Apart from the main theme of fund-raising, the project is a chance to develop designs, investigate process and create a chance for friends, colleagues to come together for a fun cause.

Wonderful idea! Count us in for a couple for sure (:
