Hi Guys,
Just finished this one up. Client wanted apples and bees due to his namesake, and one found it's way on to Hoffman's' logo.

Colder in Florida than it should be, but still having fun down here.

Thanks for looking.

Just beautiful! Always so inspiring to see your work, as someone who wants to get into inlay some day.

Hi Craig,
John Kitchen here. I just started poking around here again. Nice to see you posting your Art! My first build stalled for a while, my head hurt, but now I am back plugging away. Hee.
Looks like you're gearing up for ummmmm, Butterflies maybe.........?

Thanks guys. Glad you like them, they were a lot of fun. John, I am definitely in an insect/nature type mood these days, but first I need to get a few more mermaids done, a Taz inlay, some reef scenes, my core genre.. Maybe a puppy in there as well, we'll see.

Craig

Nice work, I think I like that the most out of the work you have showcased on here. I think you did a great job with the composition!

Best,
Trev

Always fun to look at your work, Craig.
Those wings look translucent--just amazing.
