Day 14

A mere 50 Attwater's Prairie Chickens live in the wild. They are native to the coastal prairie land of Texas and Southwestern Louisiana. Development has eradicated their fragile habitat.

Through efforts of places like Fossil Rim Wildlife Center in Glen Rose, Texas these interesting birds are returning to the wild. This Saturday Fossil Rim is celebrating its 25th anniversary by hosting an outdoor concert and benefit called Bandanas, Boots, & Bison. I am donating this sketch to the auction that will be held that afternoon.

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 ?
