Felino-Canino which in spanish it is roughly translated to mean "like a dog / like a cat" it's a personal reference to how sometimes two opposing energies can often mutate, and meld, eventually beginning to transform, one into the other.

In many of our daily relationships we see this underlying phenomena. As human beings, it is our nature for us to sometimes become a product of our environment and sometimes visa versa, Felino-Canino refers to than in a human sense, whether it be our girlfriend, boyfriend, partner, or our co-workers. Sometimes, one dominate energy of another starts to be inherent in a less dominate opposing personality.

I started this piece in Photoshop with line and texture, then I brought it into Painter and finished it up there, then I brought i back into Photoshop for final refinement of color, levels, contrast, and copyright.
Often when I'm asked what my favorite is, I say this one.

I hope you like it,

Thanks,
