Each large-scale portrait details the devastation to the North American wildlife species. In his process, Fremstad uses words to form the outline of the animals, first in pencil and then in ink, including biological information, literary references, drawings of historical photos and maps, to illustrate the full perspective of the issues threatening each species.
