With the dragon piece i had been drawing and sketching him for almost two years so it was a pretty second nature thing for me to go to him for this piece.  I love who he is and what he represents and so using him for this helped me portray a new revelation of my self as a human being.  Taking an in depth look at my life.

This was the original image for the piece and the one i used to piece the rest of the project for the sort of digital photo collage.  then i had to shrink the images into a large enough size that the program that i used could handle the amount of images.  

Sadly i was unable to get an image of my first project before i sent it home.  This one dealt with chameleons and so it was a image made of smaller images.  I wanted to show that there was something hidden in the smaller and larger image of the piece.  I wanted it to also show that many types make up a single type of animal. and since it was the blending in and disguise of a chameleon it was the ability to have something hiding in plan site.  The Camouflage of everything that we have used to make us into the people that we are today.

Here are some images of howler monkeys and there features they have that enlarged jaw bone which helps they yell extremely loud.

This pot deals with some of the mythology of the monkeys and how the howler monkeys are know as a monkey of prophecy.  I used that information in the song.

Here are some videos talking about how howler monkeys well yell.  I didn't necessarily focus on the sounds that they made more so on the concept of why they yell.  It is used as sort of a territorial device that notifies the monkey where other howlers are.
