Lopez: The Amazing Immortal (Bearded) Dragon - Sweet Gum's Class Project
"Our Auction Project is a collage poster. It uses many different abilities, such as layout, drawing, painting, photography, typography, and zentangling, to create something like this. It is inspired by old circus posters, and the main visual is a picture of our class pet, Lopez. He is quite old, and we are not sure how he is still alive, so we decided he must just be immortal. Also: if you buy our poster, you get a mini poster filled with facts and photos of Lopez." -By Zaiya E., Class of 2025
