Happy second birthday gorillas!!!
Today our blog turns two! And in order to celebrate such a wonderful occasion we decided to make some art, cause that’s what this all is about after all. In order to give it a more interesting twist, each of us got to cover, reinvent, reinterpret, make some fanart and give our own personal flavor to the work of another Gorilla. It was an exciting experience and the results are just awesome and fresh.
