Why did you make this work:
This illustration accompanied an article about animals mishaps with human consumer goods. Besides commenting on the movie "Coacaine Bear" the science driven article is about How our pets and local animals consume human products, foods, and drugs and what happens to them when they do.

What materials and techniques did you use?:
This piece was created digitally.

How were your illustrations used:
The article told a handful of stories of various animals and I wanted to include all the animals mentioned. The writing was light hearted while also addressing the seriousness of the problem of animals consuming human products. My goal was to engage the reader in a way that is comfortable and not dreadful being that in many cases the fact is animals are harmed when injecting our daily products.
