I recently illustrated a memo game "Endangered Animal Babies" for Treecer. This memo game contains 72 unique illustrations and 36 endangered animal species. Each pair consists of the parent and the baby animal and all the illustrations were done in watercolor.

I'm really grateful for this opportunity and very happy with the outcome of the game! The game is sold by WWF Finland and Treecer at the moment.

Addax By: Unknown photographer From: WWF Threatened Animals 1986

Okay, so I'm a couple months behind on this news, but it's still exciting! There are only a few hundred of these North African antelope in the wild thanks to over a century of overhunting. However, several thousand exist in captivity, and contain genetic diversity that will be crucial for ongoing reintroduction efforts in parts of the addax's historic range.

That is, if those captive addax are made available to facilities working toward reintroduction. Many of the captive addax in the United States are owned by ranches that cater to trophy hunters. Instead of being used to produce new generations destined to be returned to reserves like those in Morocco and Tunisia, among others, instead the addax are raised to be "super exotic trophies" shot by hunters. One site even boasts that Texas has more addax than everywhere else in the world combined.

Just to be clear, I am not anti-hunting across the board; I know several people here in the US who go deer and waterfowl hunting to fill the freezer for the year. However, there seems to be something incredibly wrong the fact that more addax are raised to be slaughtered as trophies than are sent to replenish wild populations. I suppose it's an improvement over people flying to Africa to poach from the last wild herds, but I'd love to see the sorts of money dropped into trophy herds being put toward habitat restoration and addax reintroduction. None of the hunting ranch sites I looked at said anything about contributing animals or other resources to reintroduction efforts, though they certainly had a lot to say about the opportunity to hunt a "super rare" antelope.

On the bright side, zoos are more active in reintroduction efforts, and so it's wonderful news to hear that this is the second addax born at the Brookfield Zoo in as many years. Hopefully this little one and her brother will have descendants that will run wild in the north African deserts again.

Been having a rough time as of late but I still managed to get some artwork done after a long break from drawing. Inspired by a quote I saw here on tumblr. Also I hate doing backgrounds but they say practice makes it easier, so I persevere.

So I did an Animal Sketchtember challenge through the last month to help break me outta my slump and these are my favorites.

I'm doing a little project over the month of March where I draw an animal with a 4 colour palette each day of the month.

March 22nd is a little addax.
