The sun’s harsh reality bleeds all the color as time undermines the detail and ruthlessly scraping, the elements steal all uniqueness defining this art What once was a masterpiece, priceless and admired, now fades to the background of years
One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books has always been The Lorax, and it has inspired all sorts of artistry in me over the years, tree-hugging, pseudo-hippie-freak, liberal environmentalist and conservationist, and reincarnated dryad that I am. It’s always been incredibly important to me to instill the same love of nature in my children. [...]
