The Godfather
Until you've encountered a Dagga Boy charging towards you in real life, you may be forgiven for wondering why this bovine creature ambling slowly across the savanna is considered to be one of the most dangerous of the Big 5 in Africa.

Witnessing a herd of African buffalo on the charge is a sight to behold as the ground shakes and thunders with the sound of their hooves - definitely one of the most awe inspiring experiences you could wish for on your African safari.

But the Dugga Boys are something else entirely - usually solitary, these older buffalo are likely to have been forced from the herd by younger males and usually gravitate towards the muddy pools that promise a steady supply of fresh grazing and a place to wallow in the mud which they use to coat their skin, protecting them from the sun and biting insects... hence the name "dugga boys" from the Shona word for mud.

It's not unusual to spot two or three of these cantankerous African buffalo bull hanging around, they are notoriously stubborn, aggressive and unpredictable and known to charge with little provocation. These large adult males often have an impressive set of horns the meet in the middle of their head and joined by a hard shield which is referred to as a “boss.”
The horns are used for defense and having seen them in action, I believe that the African Dugga Boys truly deserve their spot on the leaderboard as one of Africa's most dangerous beasts.

Everything you need to know about framing your artworks

Stretching or framing your artwork can be done in many different ways and presents an opportunity to incorporate the style of the room where the prints will be displayed.

We like to keep it simple so all our originals and prints are simply stretched canvas using a standard size stretcher with the edges painted black. Many of our clients prefer to stretch them as we do in the gallery and this is very easy for your framers to do. Read more by clicking Details below.
 

Any framer who stretches artist's canvases would be able to stretch your canvas prints for you.
At the gallery, we prefer the thicker (more substantial) stretcher frame - It usually comes standard in 4.2 or 2cm depth.
We use the 4.2cm and our prints are supplied with sufficient extra canvas around the edges to allow for wrapping around and securing at the back.
Our framers use Dulux Satin Sheen enamel (black) to paint the edges once the artwork has been stretched.
