Vultures* in formation over the Parque Nacional de Monfragüe, Estremadura, Spain *I think #vultures #parquenacionaldemonfragüe #estremadura #spain #birds (at Parque Nacional de Monfragüe)
I’m having a sketch day, so I won’t really have any new images worth uploading for a couple days. Instead, I wanted to share the older piece of mine that is my biggest inspiration for my current body of work that I am creating for Antler Gallery:
“Coragyps atratus”, 2015, Ball point pen, Ink pencils, Acrylic ink, Marker, Colored pencil, Graphite, and Gel pen on Hot-Pressed Watercolor Paper, 18 ¼ x 24in. sold.
This piece was my favorite from my first solo show. It was at the amazing, but sadly no longer around, Roq La Rue Gallery.
[ID: a line less illustration of a gila monster, a vulture, and a fennec fox surrounded by desert motifs including an arrow, a shrub, a feather, a sun, and some cacti. End.]
The devilishly handsome lappet-faced vulture (don’t argue with me) or Nubian vulture was named for the two flaps of skin, known as lappets, that decorate either side of the bird’s head and neck. They’re also endangered like many vulture species, so show them some love!
