We are conducting a long-term monitoring campaign of the optical and near-IR emission of gamma-ray bright blazars using the SMARTS 1.3m telescope and ANDICAM instrument. We report a continued increase in optical and IR brightness of the blazar PKS 0208-512 during the last 3 weeks at BVRJK bands. Observations carried out on UTC 2011 August 3 (JD 2455777.83480) show R=17.59 and J=15.95 and those on UTC 2011 August 23 (JD 2455797.84450) show R=15.62 and J=13.76.
