Description I love Rhinos, but when ever i google photos i just get sad.
They are these huge amazing creatures and we are killing them off. this started as a hay i want to paint a rhino, then i was joking with my parents saying they are unicorns and then i made this connection. There was this movie i loved to watch when i was little called "the last unicorn" and i really just watched it for the drunk skeleton.. but in it there was one last unicorn because some king had trapped them all out of this greed that he wanted to control the beauty of the world. Well, we humans hunt rhinos for their horns, carve them into figurines so they can sit on the wall or be used as "medicine" like what are you going to do with it? eat it? we are that greedy king who trapped all the rhinos. There are two northern white rhinos left, the last male died and its only two sisters. there will be no magical journey to save the other whites from an angry red bull and king. but im hopeful their cousins the Southern white Rhinos can push through. I got to meet the three housed at Henry Doorly Zoo and they are amazing. I have fallen in love with them, they are so sweet and don't deserve what the get out in the wild. i no longer want to think of the last unicorn when i see a white rhino, or any rhino at that.

i love the palette in this. the white rhino is beautiful just by itself even before the unicorn theme, which makes me even more drawn to it. thank you creating this!

Oh my gosh this piece is amazing, I love the blues in it. I can't believe they're dying. It's so sad, you'd think we should have learned by now. Hopefully they'll pull threw.

thanks, i loved making it. i got all my colors from the last Unicorn photo i referenced. yea, humans are just stupid. China legalized the trade of rhino horns and tiger bones not long ago so poachers have easy buyers. whats funny is rhinos horns are made out of the same stuff as our toe nails. don't see anything special about that but here we are.
