ad3660c7-7e3b-4b38-a6b1-59f7f8e3f4fb
Host Bob St.Pierre is joined by Logan Hinners, QF & PF’s lead graphic designer, for a conversation with Joel Pilcher about taking a leap of faith to chase his childhood dream of becoming a wildlife artist. The guys also talk about Hinners’ vision for the rooster and bobwhite quail that Pilcher created using charcoal, and became the images embodying QF & PF’s monumental Call of the Uplands campaign to improve 9 million acres of wildlife habitat.  
   
Episode Highlights:  
  • In a fascinating portion of the conversation, Pilcher talks about the major differences in his process and mental focus as he works on fine art projects versus digital graphic design artwork.  
  • Pilcher’s stunning whistling bobwhite and crowing rooster artwork are now available on t-shirts through our partners in conservation at Orvis. And thanks to Orvis’ generosity, all proceeds from these shirt sales will go directly to QF & PF’s Call of the Uplands campaign.
