Why Tainted Elephant?

I have had quite a few people ask me where I came up with the name Tainted Elephant. Here is the story, when I was looking for a name for my web site to showcase my art, I was also doing a lot of abstract sketching (scribbling) and one of my sketches came out like this.

So that is it pretty simple. I just dug out some of my old hard drives from the time period of the original Tainted Elephant. I hope that I soon will be able to share some of the work I was doing back then soon.
