Given how very little time I have for either the studio or paying gigs these days, I’m especially pleased to have some illustration work included in the Summer 2020 issue of Bay Nature magazine, which lands in mailboxes this week.
Three hybrid illustrations (traditional water-based media meets digital) of a little willow flycatcher (Empidonax traillii brewsteri), western grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis), and a Middle Fork of the Stanislaus River landscape accompany Jane Braxton Little’s “A Cautionary Conservation Tale,” a probing account of how a “historic and monumental” conservation deal dating to 2003 is today regarded as “a vision unfulfilled.”
If you don’t have a Bay Nature subscription and you live in the Bay Area, you can pick up a copy of the first-rate magazine at independent (or chain) bookstores, as well as some health food stores and regional supermarkets.
