A Tribute to Walter Farley’s Island Stallion Series
Last week was our tribute to The mighty Black Stallion and this week it’s all about his arch nemesis Flame, the Island Stallion. This character is every bit as dynamic as The Black and the books are just as exciting. Guilty As Charged I have to admit that although I loved the Black Stallion books, […]

More Elephant Characters of Auguste Vimar
While it’s true I love horses the best, I happen to like almost anything that walks on four legs (except maybe hyenas, they just look like trouble). So last week I posted some of these amazing elephant drawings by French artist Auguste Vimar & here is part 2. Good With a Pencil There is no […]

In fact, they can range from […]
