I was commissioned to create an illustration to celebrate a veterinary milestone: 100 successful surgeries! Along with her assistant, their clinic dog, and memorabilia from around the office, I decided to surround the subject with 100 hundred hearts to represent each of the affected animal lives and their respective happy families (75 dog paws, 24 cat paws, and one large red heart that counts in the cat's tally). It was a lot of fun and took about 4 days from concept to completion.
