This is one of those paintings that so many people in my life love. It’s a reaction that I don’t totally understand, like with the response to this piece. Still, I appreciate the feedback and it certainly made me feel more confident as I launched into this piece six years later. You can watch the making of Outfox. Below is the text from the book Crime Against Nature that goes with this image.
