Day 12: Corn Bunting, 9x12"

I had a cool thing happen this week (and its only Tuesday). I received an email from a conservationist that had just moved to a small Scottish island to work in an attempt to stop the Corn Bunting from disappearing from UK shores.

He wrote that his flat is in need of some artwork and what better subject than the Corn Bunting of course! He stumbled upon my shop while perusing the vastness that is etsy.com and asked if I would be interested in making a Corn Bunting sketch. Uhhhh...yeah I would be interested. Me making art for someone helping to save the life of a critter? Sign me up!

Above is the finished product. It was intimidating doing a sketch of a bird that I am unfamiliar with for someone that knows every detail of the species. I hope he enjoys it as much as I enjoyed making it.

Day 24: Willow Grouse, 12x9"

Willow Grouse in the house!

Day 20

I felt it necessary to do an illustration of the main characters in my pretend children's book entitled, Sheriff Farthright and Bangles: Lost in Los Angeles. Until this day, I never knew I even had a pretend children's book. It is not available in stores near you. Sheriff Farthright is a Yellow-rumped Seed-eater and his faithful steed, Bangles, is a Parrot-finch. Note Farthright's mighty stache. His badge shines as brightly as his character. Bangles is only seconds away from taking to the sky. I can actually hear Audubon rolling over in his grave due to the flagrant misuse of bird depictions.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?
