The
summer of 2008 Chris was invited to be the "FEATURED GUEST ARTIST" at the World renown
Laguna Beach Sawdust Festival. For those of you not familiar with the art festival ( Go to it next year, you will treat yourself
to a fantastic event).
Chris Hoy really WOW-ed the crowd when he provided a LION, baby Wolves,
and many other exotic animals at his show! Talk about up close and personal.. these were the cutest babies Mother
Nature could allow you to enjoy! Below are some pictures of Chris working in
his booth.
The following

While Chris was there he took time to stop and visit a very rare "WHITE
STRIPPED ZEBRA" ( with Blue Eyes) at the Three Ring Ranch.
Chris was thrill to be asked by the
General Manager Geoff Young to enchant the guest of the Ritz Charlton in Laguna Niguel and Paradise Point in Mission
Bay of San Diego, by painting "EIGHT FOOT"Easter Eggs specially created for the Resorts

Chris had the opportunity of a
lifetime to personally meet with Jane Goodall. Her work with Chimps and other wildlife has
been an inspiration.
