Today’s guest post is artwork from Eva Chrysanthe at meeting in Monterey of the Northern California chapter of The Guild of Natural Science Illustrators.
Amidst a sea of tea, cookies, and dear friends we had a new face in our group, Eva. She came to share with us her new work in progress, Garibaldi and The Farallon Egg War.
