I’m offering an original drawing to anyone who gives a whole animal on heifer.org. Just forward me your confirmation email (delete any sensitive information, as I don’t need it), and send me your address! All drawings (except the flying bee) are india ink on 8.5×11 inch cotton, pH neutral archival quality paper.
Whatever whole animal you fund, I’ll send you a drawing of it (or another animal, if you prefer). First come, first serve. But these are not the last drawings. I plan on doing more. Click on the goat above for more pics of other beasties!
UPDATE: if you’re having qualms about spending a whole animal amount, we can work something out if you’re only buying shares of a few animals to give in some of your friends’ names.
