Red-breasted goose tote bag for the National Museum of Natural History, Sofia
For the past two years I have the pleasure to be a member of the Society of Animal, Floral & Scientific Illustration (SAFSI) in Bulgaria. There are exhibitions going on during the year. One of them was organised between SAFSI and the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPB) and was fully dedicated to the emblematic Red-breasted goose (Branta ruficollis). The exhibition took part in my all-time favourite since I was a kid, National Museum of Natural History in Sofia.
I have had the absolute honour to be one of the chosen to use their artwork for the museum merchandise, most specifically for a tote bag of the museum!
My work consists of e two-toned linocut of the Red-breasted goose and two of the plants usually surrounding her and being part of her diet.
Since then, they used my image for printing it on the totes, which you can find in the museum’s shop.
