South African based artist, Sonny, has certainly been travelling the world with his latest wildlife protection campaign “To The Bone”. We have seen him bring endangered species to the forefront of conversations as he raises funds and much needed awareness with his huge murals, with support from the International Fund for Animal Welfare.
Sonny has returned to the big apple to paint another animal in his ‘To the Bone’ series. Sonny kicked off the project in June 2017 with a 7m x 10m Lion mural in Lower East Side, Manhattan. Sonny then returned with another cat in mind and painted a huge Tiger a month later.
