little bird

the other day i was doodling at work and when i looked down this little guy had appeared. odd bird. i liked him though. it looked as if he was wearing riding boots. so i scanned him and started playing around a little on illustrator. my little guy came in and began giving me color advice. here's what he looks like so far. i think he's starting to come into his own. a little like the penguin from munsingwear meets the partridge family - with riding boots. he's a little rough still, but beginning to emerge. a reminder to never throw away those doodles. and as the birds outside our front door are beginning to make their nests again, it's another sign that spring is here as birds are on the brain.
