48 hours left to back Burds, Baists and Bugs on Kickstarter and secure your copy! ⏳
A Bien Reid Con (A Cosy Red Squirrel) was the very first animal I drew back when BBB was originally "Scotstober", a daily drawing exercise I set for myself to learn some Scots while illustrating some of Scotland's native wildlife.
You can also add an A5 paperback red squirrel notebook to any reward tier and there's only one left!
6 days left to go on the Burds, Baists and Bugs Kickstarter! I thought I’d add a few videos showing the rough sketches of some of the illustrations included in the book, and the final versions ✍️
How do we all feel about esks (Great Crested Newts)? This one’s rather wanrestfu (uneasy) because GCNs are threatened by habitat destruction due to housing development.
