Summary
I needed a new clock in my studio, and I wanted one that would make me smile each time I looked at it. So I designed this clock. The patriotic river otters are on the clock because otters always look like they are having fun. The propeller beanie wearing alligators are to honor Maurice Sendak. The turtles are holding up the entire time/space continuum because it's turtles all the way down.
