Love Who You Love this Valentine’s Day

The Gentleman Scholar crew is about to perk up your Valentine’s Day with this multi-species, multi-technique animated ode to blind love in the animal kingdom.

“Using our mixed-media design eyes, we splashed the Animal Kingdom with a drizzle of Darwinism and a whole lot of uncensored acts of love.

“Overall, we are happy to share our message for the Hallmark day and to remind the world, love who you love, no matter what.”
