This is a sketch of Nikko, a wolf at a preserve in Greendale, Wisconsin. As an artist, I was given special access to view and photograph the wolves. Nikko and a 2 others did 'meet' me snout to hand through a fence -- others warned me to guard my camera lens (so their rough tongues don't destroy it), but I was too busy peeing my pants with delight to care and told them all so. Nikko is also the wolf featured on special Wisconsin license plates (to benefit the Endangered Resources Fund at the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources). A bit of Nikko can be spotted, framed, in the Chief Joseph photo.
