    Unfeathered Bird book signing at the SWLA cancelled

    Dear all, Thought this needed a separate thread, as I wouldn't want anyone to have a wasted journey. Due to a printing error there has been a slight delay with the advance copies, so the book signing at the Mall Galleries has unfortunately had to be cancelled. All other events and the actual...

    SWLA 2012, at the Mall Galleries, London.

    I'll be at the Mall Galleries signing books on the 8th - (the very first advance copies of The Unfeathered Bird) so if anyone can't decide which day to go, why not come along then?

    You're more than welcome, Paschalis. I really admire anyone who can draw like that. And Gill - you're never too old to play with road kill! But it's best to take the whole skeleton and not just the skull. That way you won't disappoint the next wildlife artist who comes along and finds only a...

    By the way, Paschalis - just looked at your blog and was bowled over by the drawings on there. Absolutely superb!

    By the way, SolitaryVSong, I very much like the drawings you have on your website. In fact the whole website - the design, and honest way it's written - is really excellent.

    Exactly; all the weight is up-front. That's why the knees are so far forward, and the thighs almost horizontal; to bring the centre of gravity over the feet. But tendon power in those legs does play a large part in keeping the balance - think of some of those small heron species that feed from...

    Reply to buzzard12:"Those flight studies are remarkable, makes one realize the Archeopteryx is not so far remove from modern birds": Thanks. Frigatebirds look primeval with or without their feathers on. Amazing birds!

    You'll pleased to know that it's an extraordinarily low price for what it is: you can pre-order it on Amazon at the moment for £29.71!! I see you're based in Philadelphia - I'll actually be giving a talk and signing books at the Free Library on 19th February. Hope to see you there!

    Why should we be interested in anatomy anyway? Good call, Ed; I'll try that. Thanks. I suddenly realized that many people out there may not remember my previous posts in which I introduced the book, so The Unfeathered Bird may mean nothing to you. So, a few words about it again: It's been my...
