If you live in NC or visit NC, I really recommend making the trip to Asheboro and spending the day at the zoo. Great portraits and great stories. I particularly love how the chimp wanted to see his portrait.

James' gorilla approach should be taught in art school. A portraitest must know how to get the most out of his subject. James’ gorilla approach should be taught in art school.
