It would be really hard to pick out a favorite blackbird but... I think this one might be it

Thanks! I'm fond of him too. Out of the whole series, to date, painting this one went the most smoothly. It's also been my biggest seller as a print, so you're not alone in liking it best out of all of them. I was a little sad to see the original go!

I am amazed at this painting. I love the style of your birds. They inspire me. I need to try and figure out my own character that would come out as good as this. The amount of detail you created with out putting too much on the canvas. absolutely awesome!

Just keep doodling in your spare time. On the bus, in class, when you're bored... It seems like the best stuff happens when you're just messing around. I based the whole bird series on a tiny doodle that I did that was less than an inch high. It's funny where you find inspiration.
