Did You Know?
The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling is a timeless tale filled with unforgettable characters—the man-cub, the snake, the panther, the wolves, the vultures… and of course, the fearsome tiger, Shere Khan. A symbol of power and dominance, Shere Khan stalks the jungle with both menace and majesty, making him one of the most iconic literary tigers of all time.
With every piece I create, my goal is not only to inspire and entertain but also to educate—embedding fascinating words and phrases directly into my artwork.
For this Shere Khan piece, I carefully selected words like hypnotize, dance, and banana, along with phrases such as “in the shadows,” “raised by wolves,” and “the law of the jungle.” In total, you’ll find over 100 words and phrases hidden throughout this artwork, each one celebrating the classic story and its legendary tiger.
Every piece of my art is digitally hand-drawn, one letter at a time, with no word or phrase ever repeated. Depending on the complexity, each artwork takes between 6 and 60 hours to complete.
I truly hope this piece brings you as much joy as I had in creating it!
