Artist's commentary on "Animals In Fashion"

No need to guess what the subject is about, but here are a few details for you to ponder over...

In the lower left foreground a leopard has stepped on a pressure pad that has triggered the camera!

The orang-utan in the corner is the local "Schindler" helping animals to escape the slaughter by the skin of their teeth (or tusks!)

The nearby gorilla is wiping a hankie across its face but in reality it's sweating, not crying.

In the central foreground a supermodel is getting out of her depth in a catfight! She really is trying to hold an ocelot, but I have stuck all the others on her! A mountain lion is trying to have a drag on the man's cigar; it's an escapee from a tobacco testing laboratory set free by the Animal Liberation Front.

In the middle ground a quality control technician for polar bear rugs is about to get squished by Dumbo! The cavalry is here at last! To the right, a woman not happy enough wearing a polar bear coat has gone a step further in her quest to get closer to nature.

In the background on the right, a family on safari have paid $20 000 to kill this bull elephant because "We don't want to see it starve to death" It would have cost them a lot less just to feed it instead! Perhaps they just don't want to admit that they enjoy blowing the brains out of nature's marvels. Say cheese! I felt sorry for their kid who's being turned into a killer, so I hid his identity and found a place to sign my collage at the same time!

I would like to thank you for having taken the time to read this explanation. If you have any comments or questions then I would be delighted to hear from you. By e-mail: adrian DOT kenyon AT wanadoo DOT fr. Web-site address: http://adrian.kenyon.free.fr
