Heading off tomorrow on a pack trip into the Bob Marshall Wilderness (known to Montanans simply as “The Bob”), a large chunk of pristine western Montana running south from Glacier National Park nearly to Helena, mountainous and full of wildlife and solitude. I hope to have a couple photos to post on my return.

In the meantime, if you didn’t see it in my Artzine, do please check out the new online Wildlife Art Journal, being edited and written by Todd Wilkinson. The articles are breathtaking in variety and scope; I believe Todd will be publishing this four times a year. Probably best it’s not more often, as the issues are extremely rich in content. It’ll take me several weeks to explore all the good stuff in Fall 2009. I’ll be the next artist in the “Five Questions” series, which is currently featuring Susan Fox and Andrew Denman.

And since this post really is a bit scatterbrained in nature, here’s a photo I took this morning. Nature in most of its forms fascinates me (well, except for mosquitoes…and maggots…). Being an animal artist means getting to act like a kid around all kinds of wildlife:
