So this one took a looooong time to make. Here are 75 birds of the world, designed and hand-drawn on paper by me 😁✨ Prints now available.

Why did I create this artwork?
.
Well, I think it's essential for us humans to learn to contemplate, respect, and appreciate animals without wanting to use them, to make them our property or to see them as our resources to obtain whatever we can think of.
.
We must accept that animals are not ours to use; That they are individuals with their own purposes.
That's why my art is here to show you the individuals you exploit. We must open our eyes and see that animals were never resources to use. We must accept we were taught and forced to see them and use them, when in reality we have never had the right to do so for any purpose.
It's essential to understand that just like we have the moral responsibility to respect human animals (yes, humans are animals. Mammals) we also have the moral responsibility to respect other animals. Non-human animals. Since non-human animals are also sentient beings. They're individuals instead of numbers or commodities.
.
I hope my art and message allows you to observe the individuals that you must learn to see and respect as sentient beings. I hope it reminds you animals were never yours to use.
.
If you approach this ethical and justice matter with honesty and logical consistency, it will lead you to free animals from your exploitative mindset and live vegan.
.
Veganism is: The principle that humans should live without exploiting animals.
.
Veganism is NOT: a diet, a lifestyle, a virtue, an option, doing 'your best', reducing consumption, welfarism, utilitarianism.
