Christmas Cards

I spent last night working on Christmas cards for work. Here's the ones I got finished.

Little Birds

While in the Heights yesterday, I did this quick sketch of a bird. Avian anatomy is so hard since the feathers hide most of the limbs and joints, but its fun to try and work it out.

While at the MSquared Gallery it was suggested that my bird looked like some kind of weird baby bird. That discussion led to the below:

The idea that the baby bird has feathered wings, and may be capable of flight, but isn't really ready for it. The cross came out of the pose.

Coughing

I actually did this sketch a few weeks back at an Odd Toddler show. Figured I would post it cause I'm still coughing (not as bad thankfully).

Quiet Evenings and Books

Leslie has been going to the Library a lot lately, and bringing over quite an assortment of titles. Currently we're reading "Not in Kansas Anymore: A Curious Tale of How Magic is Transforming America", it's good.

Head in the Clouds

Another cloud sketch. We had an awsome front come through a week or so ago. The clouds were building all around the town that day, and in the evening the lightning started flashing. At first it was all cloud lightning, which really showed of the forms.

This year has just been a sky year in my opinion. Last night was another beautiful sunset.
