Hey guys,
 
Just wanted to share a piece I recently had commisioned by a local marine artists here in South Africa, Craig Bertram Smith, www.craigbertramsmith.co.za
 
I've seen alot of his work, but had never seen his pencil sketch work until a recent trip to Mozambique with Chris W and Dobby from here in F.Net... and had to get one done...
 
I got hold of Craig, sent him the pic, and he sent me this pic two weeks later for approval:
 
Pretty insane... the guy is talented beyond belief!!
 
I approved it of course, and this showed up this morning!
 
An amazing thing to have, and a great memeory captured from my trip to Seychelles 5 years ago with my late father...
 
Anyone intersted in Craig's work, give me a shout, I'd love to see what he could do with a pic of one of you guys and your monster NZ Kings!
