The Golden Gate Audubon Society blog ran a short essay of mine this week. “Field Guide: An Artist’s Approach To Avian Taxonomy” provides a little more backstory about my Field Guide project.
In the days’ interstitial spaces, I started turning over an unrealized idea I’d jotted down in a sketchbook years ago – “create bird species paint chips.” There was a germ of something exciting there, but what?
It also includes more detail about the process of creating each Field Guide poster. If you’re interested in learning more, click on through.
Also, if you’re a bird nerd based in the San Francisco Bay Area, I also encourage you to learn more about Golden Gate Audubon and to consider supporting their work.
