If you don’t know about the federal duck stamp competition, it’s the highest grossing conservation program in history. I am hoping that by submitting a psychedelic duck, there’s more conversation about psychedelics and conservation. I also included visual elements from the extinct Native American tribes who lived where the duck was native on the western coast of Florida. We weren’t able to protect them, but perhaps we can protect the ecosystem for this duck.

This contest favors photo realism in this tiny format, so obviously this will not win and probably not even make it past the first round during judging in September.
