They're just for fun. Included you will find information about the different rhinoceros species, my rhino collection, rhinoceros jokes, games and more. Rhinos rock.

So, What's With the Rhinos?

While attending Sheridan College of Animation and Design I had decided that I would make rhinos the subject of all my projects. That way, when I graduated I would at least have a portfolio that was consistent in theme if not style and medium.

The choice to use rhinos was completely arbitrary as rhinos are very flexible. They are big, aggressive and powerful with no natural enemies. On the other hand, they are on the brink of extinction, fragile and in need of our help. Plus they are pretty cool to look at with strong graphic shapes.

Well, after having rendered so many rhinoceros illustrations and after having collected so much rhinoceros reference material and paraphernalia, the image kind of stuck. I became the rhinoceros lady.

I thought I was being original when I called myself RhinoInk (one word - capital I) but it turns out there was another before me, Janet Stevens, another artist who's work I'd admired while a student at art college. Small world.
