More Watercolour Birds

Marabou Stork // Foul Fowl

A strong contender for the title "Foulest of the Foul" // The Californian Condor

Birds that resemble ball sacks may not be the first thing you think of when you hear the word California ... this is something that I hope to change. 

Let me introduce you to the fourth member of the "Foul Fowl" crew the Californian Condor, please make him/her/it feel welcome!

Nose to Tail // Blanch and Shock

My dear friends Blanch and Shock Food Design are preparing a meal to be served this evening at The Russet made almost entirely out of this massive boar head for nose to tail fortnight ...

I thought it would be fun to draw them a boar on this theme, for them to use in any publicity manner they wish, or just to look at and chuckle.

So here he/she is. Kinda cute, kinda evil. Something about this reminds me of Lord of the Flies.

Wisteria

Continuing with the Spring, Trees and Watercolor theme ... I've always loved drawing trees. This must being from the countryside thing.

Wallpaper // Feathers, Petals & Leaves

I made this as the background for a message board that myself and the other members of What They Could Do, They Did use to talk shop and generally guff about. Thought I should share it with you. If you set it as your computer desktop and tile it you too can have trouble seeing your files and folders! Happy Spring!

April Showers (trying to ignore all the rain and just see the blossom)

So in classic English weather style, it has been miserably wet, windy and cloudy for the latter half of April. We are now in May and it's still going (the sun made an appearance yesterday, it was epic but over all too soon). However attempting to remain positive I have been enjoying the fact that all this wind has caused the blossom to fall and cover the pavements in a carpet of petals. It looks pretty amazing. Here is a drawing I did and photos I took in tribute to one of my favourite times of year.

Oh & F U Rain! If you could just go away now please, that'd be great.
