About the Artwork:
“This is a painting that came from a mashup idea. Hugh Jackman is famous for his Wolverine character, but he also played an 18th century character Leopold. This is the product of then thinking of the Wolverine animal in the Leopold costume. I guess you can say my brain is a random place. The frame is an antique I cleaned up just for this painting!” – Cassandra Kim
