Acrylic, 18 x 24. The story goes that a prophet of Allah once fled into the desert to escape his enemies. His faithful camel carried him tirelessly to safety, and to reward the beast, the prophet whispered one of the secret names of God into its ear. The camel told the other camels, and to this day, camelkind looks down haughtily on all other creatures who don't possess such sacred knowledge. (And hey, they look neat.)
