Dug out from the 2008 sketchbooks...

Birds as individuals by Len Howard

Just started reading this book (from 1952) and it's quite wonderful. I couldnt resist skipping to the many photos in the book that feature Mrs Howard and the tame and characterful birds that seemed to endlessly hassle her from morning til night. It would be a pretty amazing experience to have a bird on your hand while you drew it, until it crapped on the page.
Anyway, an interesting book for birders/ists/oids...

Custom banjo strum stick

A fave instrument of mine that I bought from a maker called Blaine Horlocker, based in Florida. He makes various stringed creations that include strum sticks, dulcimers and electric mandolins to name a few. I couldnt resist painting up the Banjo, here's the body of the beast.
You can view his wares at www.smokeymountaindulcimer.com
(Note the contact mike to the right of the strings...)

Owls, their handlers and oscillations.

Electronic sounds from the living room floor

When I'm not drawing, painting, looking at or thinking of owls,  I'm playing around with my ever-increasing collection of sound devices. Big ups to Pete Hellicar, Tom Bugs, Nintendo, Korg, Rhythm Ace, Behringer, international circuit benders and my local wine shop - I salute you!
I'm planning some musical releases sometime in the not too distant future on a micro label I'm setting up with a friend, more info to come as the plans unfold...

Now for some older paintings

Here's a two small paintings I did on the kitchen table and quite possible now hanging in other people's kitchens.

Not sure what I'm doing with these new paintings or where they are going but they're fun to do.
