And on the eighth day, God created jaguars. Draper's piece is just one of the works featured in ''Jaguar Crossing,'' a group exhibit that opened Friday at Pedestrian, A Gallery of Contemporary Art.
Draper is no stranger to jaguar art, of course.
But for most of the other artists, jaguars were a new subject and not necessarily one they were thrilled about. When he first approached the artists, Williams admitted, they groaned. But as they got into it, they started creating some strong work. Some are whimsical, some are serious, but it's all positive and a lot of fun,'' he said. I was pleasantly shocked by the work.
