NOCS Provisions Zoom Tube: An Adventure Illustration
When I backpack, weight and space are priorities, so binoculars rarely make the cut. But I've found a new partner for solo trips in a tent and sitting in the backyard of my house! Like any trusted buddy, my Nocs Zoom Tube is always there when I need it.
Whether sitting in my backyard, kayaking, or backpacking, my Nocs Zoom Tube brings me near to many animals. I once saw puffins!
"Man, I'm glad I stopped!"
The Zoom Tube's compact size and weight encourage me to take the time to see more of why I'm there—up close. A monocular enhances so many moments when I'm outside. Last week, it was a family of otters under a bridge. The week before, pelicans plunging into the Pacific after fish. I even turned it backward like a microscope to see a tiny crab-like creature I found while kayak camping.

I'm a huge fan.
About this Illustration
I have a strong preference for clean design, much like most designers. It's quite common for clients to ask me to create something similar to Apple's design.
However, hand-drawn illustrations have the potential to make a statement in contrast to software-based graphic design and illustration. They bring an authentic, humorous, personal, and trustworthy tone that is often missing in stock photos and videos.
