Saw the reference photo in a freshwater fish guide and found him quite charming, thought he'd make for a fun character study. Hope you all like it! -Brandon E. Wilson

You can tell by the eyes and the cleft in the chin. Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:" "She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

I'm a musician in real-life, I just tool around with the visual arts for spits and giggles. It scares me to think that I would have to make something look good in order to get paid for it... $;\)$ -Brandon E. Wilson
