Artist's Comments

The Carolina parakeet was the only parrot native to the United States. Sadly, the species is now extinct. This illustration is just a bird lover's fantasy of a place where parrots are as plentiful as the leaves on a tree.

I actually first got this picture in my head during my sophomore year of college, when we were assigned to do an illustration for a charity. At the time, though, I knew I couldn't pull it off. So three years later, I finally decided to give it a shot!

Copic multiliner for the line work, the rest is Photoshop.

I already commented at your blog, but it bears saying again. I love this! The transformations are really interesting, subtle and well done.

Very sad but beautiful. The illusion of the birds and leaves melding is very well done.

Aww, thanks dude! I might post some detail shots eventually, because some of the leaf-birds look sooo dumb. ^_^
