Ixoreus naevius
I listening to Varied Thrush by Sparkbird on loop on a car ride and I just had to draw this image that appeared in my head while I was listening to it :3
@cardamonn-n Look that them :3
Varied Thrush is one of my favorite Sparkbird songs, I just love it so much! :D
(Ignore the shadow from the phone ;-; I could not get it without it :\)
A lovely garden visitor, the varied thrush takes an iconic bird silhouette and says 'what if there was more ORANGE?' and that's the kind if twist on a classic I'm here for, nature! This one is pecking around under some bracken, a common sight in the Pacific Northwest and Northern California. In my shop now!
Another Gale Mueller Feathursday
Here are more relief prints of birds by Spokane, Washington printer and printmaker W. Gale Mueller (1927-2018) from his Forty Years of Birds ‘n Blocks, printed from the original blocks at his Millstone Press in 2009 in an edition of 53 copies. From 1969 to 2009, Mueller and his wife Bonnie sent holiday cards with Gale’s original bird prints using several relief print processes. Today we show some linocuts and an early wood engraving from 1982-1993. For those who want to know more about these birds, here you go:
Varied Thrush (Ixoreus naevius)
Saw-whet Owl (Aegolius acadicus)
Song Sparrow (Melospiza melodia)
Spotted Towhee (Pipilo maculatus)
House Finch (Haemorhous mexicanus)
