Tyrone the entomologist

Since he was a child, Tyrone wanted to be the best boxer in the world. But, to do so, he knew he needed to really understand what it was like to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee. And so what begun as some lightweight observation soon spiralled into a deep passion for entomology. He soon forgot about boxing altogether preferring to spend his time alone in the pursuit of the beauty of insects.

Artist notes: Part of my 'people I wish I knew' series, Tyrone shows us all that it's possible to have a multitude of deep interests, that we change as we discover the world, and it's OK to be more than one thing in life.
