One day a starling meets a thistle girl, and pecks her eye out...

A Detour Into Real Things

So I don't know if you guys knew, BUT! I sometimes try to make 3 dimensional objects. Above ware my sketch plans for pigeons and below are the prototypes. Unfortunately, I don't get a ton of time to sew, there may be more of these in the future, though, especially now that I have a couple old skirts I'd like to cannibalize.



This guys name is cHrap (pronounced 'trap')



And this is Scone!! I had one more named eerks, but it seems I forgot to take pictures of him. Eerks will come downtown with me for a photo shoot soon.

Pigeon Parade Day

Just a parade of pigeon puppets for fun

Sometimes Office Supplies are my friends

So here's another new character, Remover Berd!
Truth be told, I pictured a lot of inanimate objects as birds including scissors and
compasses as a wee child.

It looks like after some soul searching I've decided to put the pot-and-pan dinosaur project aside to instead pursue my love of office supply creatures.
No regrets.

Also! Today I sent off my very first DVD submission of Thistle to a local short film festival. I feel like pacing the floor with a cigarette in my mouth as those classic cartoons of fathers eagerly awaiting a baby's arrival usually do.

Still trying to figure out this line art thing

Doing some more practice with gimp. A continuation of my flamingo caricatures

This week in birds...

Working on some flamingo caricatures.

The double wattled cassowary was sitting right up front in his exhibit a few days ago. I was so excited! It was the first time I had actually seen him up close and his colors are so vibrant. In this sketch I messed with the shape of his head decor a little.

This book isn't exactly ideal for scanning

But we'll carry on any how. Just a few sketches. Some of moles that I hope to develop further.

They're hard working little minions, those moles. Prone to being too cold no matter where they are, they often pick up discarded scarves, jackets, or pillow cases to warm their bones
