Elusive
This is a Clouded Leopard named Tate who used to live at the EFBC in Rosamond, CA. He's since passed from a congenital condition they could not cure. Clouded leopards are extremely rare and even in captivity they're difficult to view - they tend to hide wherever they can and aren't very social. But on the day I took his picture Tate was a happy boy, the addition of his lady friend at the time, Kyoke, had really brought out the rascal in him. I have a few more pictures of Tate and Kyoke planned in the coming months, with their beautiful markings and expressive eyes, clouded leopards are amazing subjects for scratchboard.

Scratchboard and Ink
Original Artwork SOLD
My recommendations for the best quality print are the Premium Archival matte or the Hahemuehle Photo Rag 308. I don't recommend canvas for my artwork as it tends to lose some of the minute detail that the technique scratchboard allows me to create and the colors aren't as vivid.
