*Unconditional* 'Can I Live Here Too?' Series

*Graphite pencil on Bristol Board Paper ;)

This is the first in my new series~ “Can I Live Here Too?” I have embarked on a journey to help the animals that have just as much of a right to live here as we do…..sad to say that baby seals like this are clubbed to death to be skinned, everyday at alarming numbers, these helpless innocent babies anywhere from 12 to 28 weeks are being murdered in terribly painful ways….I saw in a video called Earthlings, not only did they club the baby to death, they tossed its mangled body to the side where I watched the mother seal morning her baby, I felt her pain, you could see it in her eyes….she was so beside herself in the loss of her baby….I cant for the life of me understand this, I am crying at this very moment….its not fair…I cant sit here and not do anything any more…please help me teach people the importance of animals and their right to live…..


As with all in this series 50% of any and all proceeds go to the Defenders of Wildlife: in my attempt to help….please help open people’s eyes and show them how to love….

Another way to help and save, Wear your feelings for everyone to see with a T-shirt!

    very cute and adorable. I like high it shows this point of field and perspective to draw the seal. Wonderful expression and superb tonal range. Well done.

    This intense glance tells us of the horrific suffering seal pups are inflicted upon. Your lovely rendering of the pup’s window to her soul are a reminder that they depend on our united efforts to stop this barbaric deed.

    Thank you for adding this beautiful image, narrative and pledge to Art for Conservation.

    Stunning work!!!! You have managed to capture the very essence that these creatures need us as humans to understand…I love it …

  • midnightdreamer replied

    thank you so much :) part of me understand that you have to pull on human heart strings so that we can get them to listen…if the human race could quit thinking they owned the world, we might be able to make real head way…anyway thank you my friend!!!

    Excellent execution of expression in this piece. And Yes it is beyond inhumane what Canada is allowing to be done to the baby seals.

  • Garth Horsfield

    Garth Horsfield

    Oh, how cuuuute! I’m in agreement – stop the barbarity against baby fluffy things… no-one except a sicko would buy real fur if they knew what the poor animals are subjected to in order to get it. What’s wrong with people? Very lovely drawing, great control over the medium.

  • midnightdreamer replied

    Thank you for taking the time to look at my work my friend, I am a fan of your style so your compliment is very flattering : )

    Leah, I love this!!! I am an avid animal lover and supporter! Your message is clear, and the more voices there are on this matter the better. Lord knows we can’t make things change as just one person, but as a group we can educate other’s and help really make a difference. Fantastic work Leah!!!!

  • midnightdreamer replied

    Tara, I so agree with you! The more voices that can be heard the more of a difference we can make, not just for the beautiful animals, but for the whole planet…..so glad to be able to meet another animal lover, thanks for stopping by my new friend!
    Peace Always!

    This is so sweet!!!! I support many groups who defend wildlife and their habitats. The story of the baby seal and the mother is so sad. Who could do such a thing? Animal mothers grieve as much as human mothers when they lose a child.

  • midnightdreamer replied

    Lori, I so agree with you, a mothers love comes from more than just people, these animals that we share this beautiful planet with have just as much of a right to live and raise their young as we do and I wish more people would realize that!
    Thank you for being such a caring and wonderful soul!
    Peace Always,
    Leah ♥

    I think the way that humans realte with animals goes a long way to show us how secure that individual is. I am so devestated with how animals such as these baby seals are treated. What is wrong with we humans that we can be so desperate and cold to do this to animals ant to each other.
