My wonderful wife got me a new scanner for my birthday. My old one gave up the ghost quite some time ago. So now I can scan my doodles in directly rather than putzing around taking a digital photo of them and then cleaning them up in Photoshop.

So here is a recent doodle I've been waiting for the new scanner to post. Now I can rally take off! Thanks baby!!!

Bird Call

This is a painting my wife commissioned from me a while back. The theme of birds silhouetted on a monochromatic background is all the rage right now in home decor shops like Red Tree. (Which we love to kill time in!) Rather than buying one she asked me to whip one up for her to put in her office. I tend to focus on the one who is taking off on his own though the fat one alone on the right makes me smile with his slightly curmudgeon like posture. Maybe the rest are about to follow the one taking flight, maybe not. I'll leave that to you to decide.
