Wildlife Art

What began with four original designs – the Buck, Mallard, Labrador and Bass – depicting the trademark outdoor sports of hunting and fishing, has now grown to 48 one-of-a-kind designs in DRI DUCK’s Authentic Wildlife Series line of headwear.  The original, embroidered designs have become an industry trailblazer, creating a collectible series of wearable art for outdoorsmen of all types.   The quality and uniqueness lit the fire in what can now be called a bonafide success story.  The Authentic Wildlife Series’ original design collection grew 1100% in just three years – from 4 to 48 one-of-a-kind designs that simply make wildlife come alive! 

“It’s a supply and demand thing,” says Scott Tubbs, President of DRI DUCK.  While it seems the Midwesterners were the originators setting the trend for many of the new designs, it wasn’t long before the East and West Coast folks starting to weigh in.  “They were the driving force behind our salt water fish designs,” said Tubbs.  DRI DUCK responded with new original embroidered art by way of the Marlin, Sailfish and Salmon.

For the collector or advocate, join DRI DUCK in spotlighting awareness for Endangered Species.  Four meticulously designed Wildlife scenes perfectly depict the unique likeness of an image fading fast from the planet:  Peregrine Falcon, Eastern Cougar, Gray Wolf and the Grizzly Bear – all crafted from 100% pure Organic Cotton.   “DRI DUCK works with conservation groups through a variety of alliances and as a result, our design fabrication is the most authentic representation and it serves as a voice for the endangered,” said Cathy Groves, Vice President Marketing for DRI DUCK.   

DRI DUCK takes their role in the animal world seriously, and is committed to the environment and green initiatives from the inside out.  As part of their enterprise-wide dedication they have developed a program called Shades of Green, through which they take a comprehensive look at ways DRI DUCK can positively impact the environment. From fabrics to freight, the DRI DUCK team is continuously evaluating day-to-day operations to identify ways to be more environmentally conscious.  As a result of their Shades of Green program, combined with their involvement with the Organic Exchange, a non-profit organization committed to expanding organic agriculture, DRI DUCK began offering 100% certified Organic Cotton apparel in January 2007, including the Eco-conscious collection of jackets for both men and women, and the Endangered Species headwear from the Authentic Wildlife Series.

The Authentic Wildlife Series is a high-quality collection of hats and caps designed with DRI DUCK standards of uncompromising craftsmanship.  You’ll find a full range of designs and color options, 100% cotton chino twill or camo patterns with 60% cotton/40% peached twill, Velcro-adjustable straps or FLEXFIT® options, mesh back and styles for women, as well. 

For the man (or woman) in your life, that guy (or gal)  who hunts, fishes or just loves the great outdoors, put DRI DUCK on your shopping list and grab a Wildlife Series hat.  Better yet, start his (or her) collection this Holiday season.  We invite you to find the style that will keep you looking a head above the rest.

Artist: “Cynthia Witthoft” Song: “Crocodile Holocaust” Album: “Last Recordings Before My Suicide (2008)” The larger species of crocodiles are very dangerous to humans. The main danger that crocodiles pose is not their ability to run after a person but their ability to strike before the person can react. The Saltwater and Nile Crocodiles are the most dangerous, killing hundreds of people each year in parts of south-east Asia and Africa. Mugger crocodiles and possibly the endangered Black Caiman …

Wrong to draw off a picture?
I am entering a wildlife art contest and just wondering what your opinions are. If I found a picture of an animal I want to draw, do you think it is ok to copy that photo exactly, as in make my own rendering of it in pencil? I do not want to copy a photographer's work without permission. But is it different when you're drawing a picture exact from a photo?
