# About me

I am first and foremost a wildlife conservationist and scientist. My preferred areas of study are ornithology (birds) and animal behavior. I have a Bachelors of Science degree in Wildlife.

Art is my main hobby. I also do a lot of photography, which my watchers will have noticed. I also do archery and costuming in the Society for Creative Anachronism, an international organization that does medieval and renaissance recreation.

I have a stock photography account under the name austringer .

Yo! Your wing tutorial caught my eye and I came around your profile for a closer look, only to discover that your username is that of my favorite bird of them all! Goshawks, man. They're just the coolest! And they have some pretty darn amazing flight ability too!
Excuse my avian enthusiasm, but your art is magnificent as well! All of the different mediums and styles were fun to see.
That is all. Carry on.

Have you ever shot Olympic Recurve in the range at A&M with one of those fiber optic sights?
It's such a pain because of the lighting...
Sorry to bother you, it's just I'm a soon-to-be member of the SCA, Texan native and a Olympic Recurve archer, and ballpoint pen artist, so I find you to be interesting...

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Goshawk In reply to InsaneRasberry [2010-12-20 06:47:27 +0000 UTC]

I haven't used the fiber optic sights, but I have indeed shot an Olympic recurve at the A&M range. Unfortunately, my bad shoulder can't handle the weight of the Olympic equipment, so I had to quit the archery club and stick to traditional equipment.
If you are still in Austin, as your DA profile says, I know a few people from your local barony. One woman by the name of Catherine tied me for 1st place in a combat archery shoot at the first event I did archery at.

I actually don't do much with ballpoint these days, sticking mostly to pencil.
