I commissioned the super incredible  Hoot for this one, and I bet you won't be shocked to hear that I'm glad I did! Hoot's work is always amazing, and we're slowly working through my cast. ^_~

Mr. Gryphon is a fantastic addition to any party that needs livening up, and he's in his element in exciting social situations. If you're ever looking for a really fun time, you need only join him on a vacation to the tropics and spend at a night at his favorite gay bar, The Manly Macaw! It's always a party, and everybody's welcome, especially if you're Mr. Gryphon's guest.

His favorite drink, by the way, is a martini, which he claims is the most classy of beverages. His friends claim that it's really only his favorite because he likes getting to order it dirty. ^_~

Mr. Gryphon's species has kind of been up in the air for a while now, usually a red-tailed hawk or something close to it. For this piece, though, I asked Hoot to change him over to a broad-winged hawk, which has been my second choice for a long time now. This came out so well that I think it's finally settled. Broad-winged hawk it is! This calls for a celebration, and it looks like our favorite quadruped bird has already gotten started. Won't you join us?
