A FLYing visit to the Fynbos, Western Cape, South Africa

A fabulous opportunity to film in an incredible habitat (thanks BBC)- in terms of flora its unique but maybe not the most pristine in terms of disturbance. That didn't seem to perturb the flies...SO MANY BEEFLIES

I think I'll post my art here more often. :))

A bunch of fly doodles from a few weeks ago. It's fun playing around with bug anatomy and trying to stylise it.
