Bird Brain is Migrating!


I started up this Bird Brain Journals blog for those folks out there who might be exclusively interested in my birding-related drawings and journals entries, rather than the various comics, illustrations, and other projects that I blog about in my other, more general creative blog, Friend or Foe. However, I've started to realize that I am double blogging a lot of stuff, so I'm going to move this blog over to Friend or Foe now!

So, all future (and past) updates on my Bird Brain activities (including process shots, photos, field trip descriptions, etc) will be cohabiting with my other projects over at Friend or Foe. However, I will be labeling everything BB-related with the "bird brain" tag, so it will be easy to filter out the other stuff if you couldn't give a hoot about anything other than birds and nature!

Thanks for the continued support and interest!

Bird Brain 4 out for Stumptown + BB Painting at Tinlark Gallery


Wow, its a busy week for Bird Brain! First off, BB 4 will be coming out next weekend for the Stumptown Comics Fest up in Portland! I actually have a ton of illos and writing left to do this week, but I have faith that it can all get done! This issue will have lots of great sightings in it due to my three great field trips since the last issue (Las Gallinas, Point Reyes, and Año Nuevo), including Northern Harriers, a Peregrine Falcon, Turkey Vultures, Western Bluebirds, and a color spread of a Varied Thrush we found late last year (above)! Plus some bonus non-avian encounters, including a bobcat and Elephant Seals! Family Style will be sharing some space at the Global Hobo table, so look for me there!

Secondly, if anyone is down in LA this month, the original of that color Varied Thrush illo from BB 4 will be on display as part of the Oodles of Doodles group show at Tinlark Gallery in Hollywood! The opening is on Saturday, April 24 (obviously, I can't be in two places at once, so I won't be there), lots of amazing artists, should be rad!
