The Fantastic Red-bills Got My Back

A Cape Water Buffalo, describes how the Red-billed Oxpeckers became his best friends - partly due to being barnacled with their favorite food. Disgusting, and disease carrying ticks.
I’m thrilled to share my digitally illustrated story, The Fantastic Red-bills Got My Back - a whimsical tale narrated by Billiam, a Cape Water Buffalo, about his quirky, (symbi”odd”tic) friendship with the no longer endangered Red-billed Oxpeckers. It’s been an incredible journey to create. Brainstorming for things only a happy Cape Buffalo/Sailor from the 19th century would say. Accidentally discovering a passion for digital art. Putting a glimpse of the interconnectedness of nature on display. Hoping it brings you unexpected joy, laughter, and maybe even a bit of inspiration? My future art will focus on species that no longer face extinction. Species listed as “Least Concern “, “Vulnerable”, “Endangered”, or “Critically Endangered”.
