Hello, my name is Joseph Lucas. I’m an artist inspired by nature, specializing in Sumi-e and Gyotaku-style illustration. Using acrylics, ink, and digital media, I blend traditional aesthetics with modern techniques and wildlife photography.

I will still post my art on here but I'll be moving my nature photography to a new dedicated Instagram account. If you enjoy my nature photos and want to support my conservationist goals give me a follow www.instagram.com/lifes_tenaci...
