I was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia on April Fool's Day in 2005. After undergoing multiple rounds of treatment and fortunately achieving remission, I started a project called the Daily Zoo where I set out to draw one animal every day for a year as a continuation of my healing process. It was extremely rewarding, so much so that I have continued.
