Day 3

I murdered this poor baby Cardinal by becoming fixated on achieving local color. It is hard to obtain a natural tone when using Miami Vice inspired colors. I couldn't fit another sprinkle of pastel or charcoal on this drawing. This also is on butcher paper which has no bite to it. Too slick for obsessive pastel application. "Crockett...Tubbs, take this bird downtown."

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 ?
