Project IV Day 7: Albatross Chick

(A slightly better pic)

Sorry about the past couple of photos but I wanted to get them posted ASAP. I mean, this gig is about sketching everyday. Photo shoot manana and then shrink wrapping the last week of these babies. They will be for sale in my etsy shop...http://www.rowdystudios.etsy.com/. The holiday season is upon us and your friends and family told me they want my sketches for gifts.

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.

Day 7: Roseate Spoonbill, 12x9"

Roseate Spoonbill, you are one interesting looking dude. Their deep pink coloring is similar to a flamingo. They use their unusual beak to feed on crustaceans by swinging it from side to side as it steadily walks through the water.

Project V Day Three: Pecan Husk

Day Three is a pecan husk that Kona and I found on one of our walks. The sidewalk is littered with them - which means there are lots of pecans - which means there are lots of squirrels. Lots. Of. Squirrels. Apparently pecans are not enough for this overabundant squirrel population so they have taken to eating the apartment complex from the roof down. I'm 95% sure that within the next couple of weeks they will have eaten the top two floors. Maybe this is a super special pecan husk and they are desperately trying to reclaim it so that is why they are specifically working on my side of the building. Well too bad squirrels! I'm keepin' this husk! Say cheese little pecan husk! Day Three grid aka (1,3)
