I have heart for all animals, but for some reason, I have a certain soft spot for mice. Perhaps it’s my love for underdogs, because many people might see a mouse as one of the more insignificant mammals, but the reality is they’re extremely important to any ecosystem they call home.

Now don’t get me wrong, I definitely don’t get excited when I see them scurrying around a backcountry campsite, or any other place you’d rather not have to deal with them, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to draw one.
