My animation teacher who happens to be a brilliant photographer…also happens to be a bird nut like me. I was given permission to illustrate from his photographs, so I have been experimenting some simple breakdown and abstraction in my little recycled book on the train trips to class.

Swallow! <3
I am currently slowly working on a series of these. Pretty much one bird per train trip!
