Sylvio - “ It’s the story of a small town gorilla, Sylvio, who is stuck in his job at a debt collection agency. Deep down he just wants to express himself with his hand puppet, Herbert Herpels, and his puppet show that highlights the quiet moments of life. He accidentally joins a local TV program and a series of on-air mishaps threaten to shatter his identity, sending him on a journey of self-discovery.”
The new grass starter trades in his stick for retractable leaf blades when he fully evolves! :O Before the real evolutions actually get shown, I wanted to jump onboard the evo prediction train! So until they are, I’m def. going with Grookey, and hoping for this mighty monkey in my party!
(I know he has a glaring weakness to flying, but I’m giving him Ice Punch so there! :P)
“I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.” - Steve Irwin Happy #SteveIrwinDay. Today I rock my #khaki and celebrate the great #SteveIrwin. A man whose infectious passion for #wildlifeconservation and #education was a huge inspiration in pursuing my own career in #animalbehavior & #animalwelfare no matter what challenges have been thrown in my path.
Coloring practice on #procreate this morning. Thinking i maybe went a bit too chromatic? Color is an ever evolving mystery to me, all i can do is keep tackling it one day at a time.
