    Quirky and cute Wildlife

    Here's some pieces without the outlines etc: These are Artist Trading Cards.

    Quirky and cute Wildlife

    And thanks once more for all the kind comments. When I look at the other artist's work here I feel like a rank amateur - because I cannot even come close to capturing the realism that everyone else seems to manage with such skill. Everything I draw turns out cute. Even ugly things: This...

    Quirky and cute Wildlife

    Well, I'm ceoncentrating on New Zealand birds, and I don't think we have that many extinct ones (I hope!). One I need to draw is an Adzebill - they were the only ones in the world. But I prefer to draw extinct birds from museum specimens (or photographs of such) because drawing from other...

    my birds

    Love the character and personality of your pieces. I don't normally like crows (I feel they're overdone in art and a little too goth) but I love your crow with the pencils. The others are brilliant too.

    Aha, I thought it might be something like that!

    Quirky and cute Wildlife

    You mean this fellow? A couple of weeks ago was conservation week and I tried to draw an extinct bird a day. This was the first. Some excitement was caused a few years ago when small brown quails were found on an island sanctuary. Had they rediscovered this extinct bird? No, alas, they...

    What mutation is this diamond dove

    I'm thinking maybe lutino, but I"m not sure you get lutino diamond doves.

    Out of curiousity- the size limit on avataras is 80x80, yet most of yours are larger. Is the 80x80 merely a programmed suggstion that has been over-ridden? Can I upload a larger piece?

    Thanks for the warm welcome folks! I am hoping to be able to find loads of good reference images and inspiration here - when I run out of New Zealand birds, that is!

    Quirky and cute Wildlife

    I'm currently working on my third PoD book, which is entitled "New Zealand, Naturally", featuring a selection of our endemic and native birds. My art is illustrative in style, and not especially realistic, but I hope you will enjoy it. Here are some of my favourites: A cute pair of tomtits...

    What is this bird?

    Thanks for the comments! I didn't want to put it there because I figured out what it was and you're right - I guess it was fairly easy! I've never seen a leucistic sparrow before, they're very pretty. We have a number of partially leucistic blackbirds around - white wings or tail feathers...

    What is this bird?

    This is my most recent exciting "bird experience". It seems that often when I go out on a picnic or outing with my parents that I have some sort of novel bird experience - recently we went on holiday to the West Coast of New Zealand - staying in Okarito - breeding ground of the Kotuku and home...

    Kia Ora from Aotearoa

    I'm a life long bird-watcher, and I believe my bird obsession started when I was a toddler, feeding the ducks with my Nana. One of my most prized presents was a large, hardback, illustrated guide to New Zealand birds - a book I still have and still treasure (and use for reference). I persuaded...

    10/3/09 - North of Saddle Road 19 Mile Area

    I loved our visit to Hawaii last year. Saw a lot of 'apapane and an 'amakihi, but no I'iwi - or at least none that I recognised. We stayed up in Volcano Village and the 'apapane played in our trees in the morning. Hawaii is one country where the birds and native fauna have suffered worse than...
