Gouldian Finches Drawing 17

Drawing 17 of 30, still doing birds as I couldn't get inspired to so something else. After a whole week break with the flu, I'm trying to get this going again. I'll color tomorrow.

March Madness Is Upon Us

MARCH MADNESS is upon us!

Our Three Little Birds say:
Join us for an envelope full of goodies!

I've started getting art rewards ready to order for my patrons. After the 1st of March, whomever is on-board will receive a FULL prize envelope, regardless of having just now joined us.

That means ALL the rewards for whatever level you sign up for, PLUS one-time special MARCH MADNESS additional surprises!

To qualify, join our Patreon community between now and Feb. 28th, 2018, or before March 1st membership payments go through.

This is our first quarterly mailing so I plan on making it memorable! It's the best time to jump on-board. There'll be PRINTS, POSTCARDS and VINYL STICKERS to go around.

Our Three Little Birds are coming to a mail box near you for some singing and chirping and to generally brighten up your day.

We're got a Red-Necked Tanager,

a Red Capped Robin...

and a Kingfisher bird, all excited to come meet you in person.

Kingfisher Bird Daily Drawing 15

And another, the Kingfisher for drawing 15 of 30.
I worked a little on the postcard format for these birds and they're going to look fantastic. I'll post an example here soon.
The Kingfisher actually has white spots all over it's head, which I didn't do for lack of a white marker... instead I used a silver sharpie, but that didn't really show up well.
I'll see about getting one and adding them on,
