Gary says “Although it was unconscious, my style of drawing the fur detail was quite different with Pride and Joy, (although there were touches of it starting in Supreme). I became totally immersed in the neck and belly fur, and it just seemed to come out in swirls and ringlets! Lets call it my Art Nouveau period!

“In hindsight, I can see that it wasn’t quite in keeping with my other prints, not quite so realistic. But I am still very fond of Pride and Joy. Lots of things came together with the drawing. I love the feeling of power and the intense gaze. I enjoy the sweep of the stripes going from the parent’s face to the cubs, and the cheekiness in the baby’s eye. I think overall, it’s quite a dynamic drawing.”
