Our Issue 37 cover is a special one so we turned it into a limited run of 14 fine art prints. Designed by Simon Berndt of One Horse Town (who usually spends his time making psychedelic rock posters), it connects to the cover story about Tanzania's Majestic Rivers and features a Tanzanian tigerfish, a hippo, a plane, an Egyptian Spitting Cobra, and the aforementioned rivers. Think Willard Price meets the Hardy Boys and Tintin over a fly fishing backdrop. Each A3 print is printed on Hahnemuhle acid free cotton paper using archival inks and signed by Simon Berndt. Find out more on his art on his website here. Delivery included in South Africa. -
