30 Sketches Project Numero 5!

30 Sketches Project V.  In.  Effect.  A bit of time has passed since the last project so here's a refresher on the rules:  sketch, document, post, repeat everyday for 30 days.  

30 Sketches Project V:  Day Zero

As you can see in the above photo, the star of this episode of 30 Sketches is one 43"x36" wooden panel divided into 30 equal sections.  Each section works as an individual drawing but it's existence is necessary to complete one large composition.

Hey...hold the phone...that's kinda like how our planet works - each unique species is needed to support the big picture.  Even the smallest, seemingly insignificant life form holds immense value.  You take out a section, the whole structure will cave.  Indeed.


Q:  So, what will go into each of the 30 sections of the panel?  
A:  Stuff from these jars.

Let's do this.

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 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)

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.
