Nobrow Issue #8 Sneak

A sneak of my contribution to Nobrow Issue #8.  Excited and honored
to  partake.  Order here

East Bay With Boat: So Long James

Variation of a painting I did for a friend.  Fun how much art
I discard, derail, and generally soothe/torture into something else. 
One day it's a Hawaiian bird, the next week it's a hazy view
of the bay.

Azure-Winged Magpie

With a black head mask and a tropical water blue on its wings and tail,
Azure-Winged Magpie is a striking bird.  I wish I can see one, and I read
that they're common in their indigenous homes---Pacific Rim to Mongolia
and the Iberian Peninsula (!).

Orioles Over Howard County

A variation of an older painting I never finished.

Here's a sneak from my first children's book!  It has a lot of birds
in it...

To my lovely, wonderful wife.

Hwamei (or Melodious Laughing Thrush)

Originally from China and Taiwan, Hwamei is shy,
likes to run around on the ground, and has a long, pretty
birdsong.  A lot of them live in Kauai.
