I met Glen at an art opening based on the theme of Sin and Vice. We bonded instantly and I soon found myself back at his studio immersed in the world of Glen. What a wonderful world. I was particularity awe struck at of his most prominently displayed creation; a massive assembly of hundreds of animals flowing one into the next. Each nobel beast was depicted according to the individual animal's aura. And Glen did more than simply recreate atomically pleasing portraits of these animals. To my viewing, the artist understood and related to his quarry on a visceral level. It is my belief that Glen could look you in the eye and then show you what your spirit animal looks like. Glen accepted this puzzle portrait challenge the very same night as we first met. It would be nearly a year before he completed the same. But then it would equally long before I uploaded images of his piece to this gallery. I attempted to photograph this piece several tymes, I even bought a special set of filters for my chemical camera to try to do his effort justice. For subsequent attempts I utilized a digital camera. The final images are composed from several digital images. This
