Gents,
Wanted to share here a really special piece of artwork completed for me by a great friend. Some of you may have heard of Jay Dowd or be familiar with his Upland Lowlife brand and artwork, if you haven’t and were looking for someone who could really take a photo and turn it into something special I couldn’t more highly recommend him.

I lost my dad very suddenly in early December. As we dealt with the loss, I was able to throw one of his hats on and take his old 870 out for a late season walk with one of my brothers. Jay was able to take a couple of pictures we got during the day and turn it into something truly memorable.
Thanks for letting me share.
Rob |

| Rob, so sorry about your dad. It's a profound loss. My dad died ahead of his time 38 years ago on the 8th, so I've been mulling it over lately. That is a beautiful memorial. |
