Oh hey there, Collective Internet Hive Mind!

It’s been quite a while since I last utilized this particular digital sounding space, but it’s about time I started again. A lot has happened since we last spoke, and there is much I’d like to tell you about from my last year and a half of existing in this odd, Xanth like realm of Florida. But first, I will start with some pictures. Drawings, to be specific.

I have been trying my hand at seriously drawing birds for roughly five years now. That half decade has taught me a lot about art, about the world around me, about the beautiful beasties that I attempt to capture, and most importantly about myself. More musings on that later. For now, let’s go straight to the birds. Here are the 36 birds I have drawn for this humble little project, in the order in which they were drawn, after having migrated to their final destination (i.e. to the person who requested the drawing in the first place). My birds have landed in Indiana, Wisconsin, Florida, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, New York, Virginia, California, Vermont, Kansas, Washington D.C., Illinois, Oklahoma, Texas, Ohio, and even Guam and Mongolia!

It has been my privilege and pleasure to send these guys to so many good people in so many places. I hope you enjoy looking at these birds as much as I enjoyed drawing them, but I suspect that is not possible! This is part of who I am now, (this is possibly just a tangible expression of who I’ve always been), and I utterly love it.
