Anchored Flying Ostrich   May 06, 2017 The conversation over dinner the other night was involving how to deal with being around bird watches when you don't know much about birds. My suggestion was to pick the most unlikely birds and then identify the next call you hear as coming from that. Like, hey, there's a dodo, or check out that North American ostrich. It's even better if they're flying overhead. The concept of a flying ostrich had one person laughing over dinner for about 15 minutes. So here's my quick, cheap take on it. Its stubby little wings would be surprisingly effective...except that its head would be keeping it tethered to the ground. Mostly me playing with Illustrator and things like shading and the knife tool.

I tend to doodle. Over the years, I've accumulated lots of random sketches of things, sometimes people, sometimes things, and sometimes just abstract lines. The basic idea on these pages is for me to slowly scan in highlights from my collection of random quick doodles. I also am providing a place where I can explain what it is or what motivated it or perhaps some reason why I'm not to blame. With the sketches of people, their name may be hand-written, or there might be a talk title provided, but I will tend to avoid providing full names. I don't mind if people know who they are, I just don't want them coming up on search engine hits, since that might be a bit rude.

Note that the images are PNGs with transparency. Mozilla and Firefox properly render them. Safari too, I think. Internet Exporer doesn't. I don't care.
