Gray Malin's latest project, titled 'Dream Series,' was inspired by a Scottish sheep farmer. Not content with having white sheep like everyone else, this farmer decided to switch things up and dye his sheep delicious cotton-candy shades. The series, which is equal parts amusing and adorable, marks an exodus from Malin's typical aerial photography.
Sheep are often used to describe followers and conformists, but this charming series proves that even sheep can stand out! Malin attempts to extend the message to his viewers, encouraging them to be creative with their self-expression.
And not to worry: no sheep were harmed in the making of this project. The animals were dyed with non-toxic, rinsable dye based with vegetable products. Furthermore, all profits from the series will go to the Make A Wish Foundation.
