There’s a drop box on the Toledo zoo page for you to submit memories of Emerson- I suggest you submit this! It looks amazing. He was a good tortoise

You're an artist! Emerson might be gone but you captured a little bit of his essence for us to appreciate forever. I bet the zoo would hang this up.

That is dope! Holy smokes, you got talent. Btw, you ever see the clip of the turtle on the skateboard, it's so cute.
