AFRICAN SAFARI!!!

Yes, you read that right! In September of 2016, I will be going on an African Safari with a few artist friends! We will be going to Tanzania and exploring the country, seeing and photographing as much wildlife as we possibly can. I've been dreaming of doing something like this for a loooooooong time, so it's really hard to believe that it's not only possible, but going to actually happen! You guys can just about guess how much inspiration I'll come back with from this trip. The good thing is, I have a little over a year to prepare for it, but I'm sure it's going fly by. 

In other news, I've been busy with my Federal Duck Stamp entry and working on some smaller scratchboard pieces. I also have a couple of commissions coming up, so stay tuned for those as well. As always, you can follow me on my Facebook art page (link below) as I'm very active on there, posting work-in-progress photos almost daily of what I'm working on. Hope you've all been well!

Thanks,
