I LOVE your drawings and style! Do you work with raptors? (I assume because of the pictures). I also have experience working with raptors, it's the best! Heart Heart Heart Heart Heart Heart Heart

I work with a wide variety of bird species at my current position (everything from crowned cranes to harpy eagles) but most of my background is with raptors, yep. :) (Smile)

Awesome!! :) (Smile) What kind of job, if you don't mind me asking? At a wildlife center, zoo, etc? I'm a fourth year veterinary student (degree expected May 2016), and our school has a Wildlife Clinic, so I did a lot of volunteering there in my first three years. Plus, we have resident raptors that are non-releasable, so I did training with them, and took them to schools and stuff for educational outreach :) (Smile)

That's how I got started when I was in university. Education work with non-releasable raptors. I eventually lead up an ed team at a larger raptor centre for a few years. Then in 2013 I got a job with a leading animal training company and have been working all sorts of birds since then-- opened a new show at Disney's Animal Kingdom, then spent the summer doing a free-flight show at Brookfield Zoo in Chicago. Back at 'home base' in Florida right now, training some eagles, and will probably be out on another road show next year.

That's awesome! What a coincidence, I'm actually at Brookfield Zoo right now! I'm doing a six week clinical rotation with the veterinarians :) (Smile) Your career sounds awesome, I definitely want to incorporate raptors into my vet med career somehow. In April I'm going to be doing a rotation at Carolina Raptor Center, which I'm super excited about!

Ha, tell Dr. Jimmy that Amy from the bird show says hi! We just left-- sorry I missed ya! :) (Smile) I also have friends at the Carolina Raptor Center-- Natalie is amazing. You'll have a blast there.

Tell me about it, haha. Jimmy's awesome, one of my favourite folks I met at Brookfield. We were buddies with the Dolphin show folks and Jeff from Tropic World too. Hopefully I get to go back next year.

Confettibird [2012-03-24 07:40:59 +0000 UTC]

I am a lover of anything that is "bird," so I naturally love your art! That aside, however, I think that your work is very (for lack of a better word) awesome! I like how it's fun and cartoonish, yet and the same time very life-like. I started looking at your gallery solely for the birds, at first, but I ended up loving all of your art!
Keep on drawing!
