I first learnt about Peter Beard through Deborah Bibby, editor of real living magazine. I was interviewing her during my guest blog on design*sponge. He was someone who inspired her.

He is an amazing man, and I have thought of him several times before heading to Africa. He creates the most beautiful artworks, which are a collage of photography (often of endangered elephants) and drawings. The images above don't really do justice. If you get a chance you should check out one of his books.

He is a handsome man who is also known for those that he associated with (and took photos of), including Mick Jagger, a slew of supermodels, Jackie Onassis, Truman Capote and other artists of his time, including Francis Bacon.

Peter Beard has written several books on his life in Africa.
