Mouila by Tom Godfrey

Mouila by

Mouila is one of Kibabu’s hareem :) at Taronga. I am putting this pastel I did of her back onto redbubble, to celebrate the arrival of a baby gorilla at Taronga. Human indifference, ignorance and the taste for “Bush Meat” threaten these poor guys.

About Tom Godfrey

My artwork ranges from the traditional, to the slightly offbeat.

With the wildlife and landscape, paintings, I like a more photo-realistic approach, with light, colour, emotion and a sense of space, being key components.

My cartoons are a little quirky, with themes and styles varying according to mood.
