I only get this cute for my mom’s birthday

The not-so-little-mermaid.

After trying to paint a phoenix that didn’t quite look like a bird I decided to try to paint some birds with a reference.

Miniature Hand Blown Glass Vessels and Scientific Instruments by Kiva Ford

I must admit, I’m pretty happy with these two - and no graphite in sight!

Thanks everyone!

“Royal Flycatcher” - This is a special Fat Bird. It will be an edition of 100, but will not be for sale. There is only a limited amount of ways one can acquire it. I will put one randomly into every Fat Bird edition starting with the Rose-breasted Grosbeak, so any time you order a Fat Bird, you’ll have a chance at landing one, albeit small. I’ll also be leaving them in places around the world whenever I travel, posting a picture on instagram of its whereabouts. I’ll be giving one to any person who has a verifiable complete set of Fat Birds, which I can’t imagine is more than 3-4, and at absolute maximum, 14. I’m giving one to a cool dude named Jason who recently gave away a now extremely rare Robin Fat Bird to another FB collector, which he could have just as easily sold for $300-400. I’m giving one to Dan and one to Hector, who were big champions of my work early on. The rest I will be giving away to friends, family, charity, or do with as I see fit. I’ve been meaning to do something like this for a while now, and I’m super pumped to finally start. As soon as I get the entire edition (2-3 weeks from now), I’ll be hiding one somewhere in Austin, so keep an eye out for that! #fatbirds #yearofthefat
