King Kurloz

April 2022 (design finished early 2022)

Description written at beginning of 2022 (artwork only just went online mid-April 2022): I’ve really had a hard time getting back to art after the holidays. I had/have TOO many projects all screaming for my attention. Just when I thought I’d decided on an order to get going, I got distracted by far too many other things (I’ve taken over a lot of the cooking and meal planning as well as chores and trying to reorganize things)… and then there’s the shared laptop my husband and I have to drag back and forth. After a chat during lunch, my husband challenged me to draw this silly goat, and I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. So I started and finished it in a handful of hours! King Kurloz lives a wonderful life at the Sowa Goat Sanctuary, where he has discovered the joy of having his hooves rubbed – and in fact is VERY demanding when his caretakers are near him. LOL!
