January 11

Samuel Morse unveiled his invention, the electric telegraph, to the public on this day in 1838. Sadly, his transmitted message, "A patient waiter is no loser," is lost on me, as waiting 10 seconds for a transmitted message is way beyond my download threshold.

#inktober day 20 - Dave requested parrots of Telegraph Hill. Even though Telegraph Hill is so named because of a telegraph semaphore, I chose to illustrate an electrical telegraph because they're more recognizable. #wildparrotsoftelegraphhill #parrots #telegraphhill #telegraph #telegram #cherryheadedconure #redheadedconure #redmaskedparakeet #conure #sketch #sanfrancisco #electrictelegraph
