John Costin Wild Turkey Art

“Wild Turkey,” a one-of-a-kind lithograph by noted Tampa artist John Costin! Each of John’s pieces is handmade and hand painted, even though numbered editions may range from 1-250, no two pieces are the same. Costin is renowned for his exquisitely detailed and lively colored lithographs of the many birds of Florida and is featured in the April/ May issue of Garden & Gun Magazine.

Noted for their intelligence, the wild turkey is the largest North American game bird and was narrowly beaten out by the bald eagle as our national emblem.
