Dec. 4th, 2011 11:08 amChrist. I'm sick of LJ being down because of DDOS attacks. Considering starting to cross post everything I write there over here instead of just using DW as a back up archive.
Too many people read LJ for me to leave it completely. But this is just happening way too much. Plus there was that phishing attack too.

Was just about to post this photo of me holding a potoo because...well, It's a potoo and therefore awesome- but I just found out Scientific American linked to my blog

I mean...thank you!

So remember a while back the curator of Entomology said he wanted me to write and illustrate an article for his Entomology blog?
Well It's up! And it includes a painting I did of a weevil.

Thanks to everyone who came out last night! I had fun.
Tonight, dinner at The English Pig with Ozzy! I don't normally get to eat in restaurants of this caliber so I'm really looking forward to it!
Grant Museum
May. 3rd, 2011 03:57 pmIt feels good to be back in London.
Today I went to the Grant Museum of Zoology and chatted a bit with my mentor. I also met this lovely lady called Janet, who is the scientific illustrator at the Grant. She was very nice. I might go and draw there this week as they welcome artists.
I took some photos but sadly do not have my USB cable with me for the camera. Will have to upload them when I get back.
Looking forward to drinks later with![[livejournal.com profile]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Mr. Kakapo bring me a dream
Feb. 13th, 2011 11:04 amLast night I was in quite a lot of pain (I still feel sore), but to cheer myself up I decided to draw something cartoony and fun, as I haven't done so in a while. Plus I have a backlog of commissions to finish before I move to Manchester. I think I might draw a series of New Zealand flightless birds as they all seem so odd and interesting.

Guys, I'm going to work with scientists in the Entomology department. Before any of you go "but isn't that what you already do?" let me explain.
I'm going to do scientific illustration! I told Dan about the internship I was applying for and he said he would find some projects for me to do and that he would appreciate it because they need that sort of thing for papers etc. I don't know exactly what those projects will be yet but man, I'm excited!
Speaking of scientific illustration, the Images of Nature gallery opened today, and it's promoting both old and modern scientific illustration heavily. Here they are talking about one of my favorite images on display by Mark Russell.

I finally received my copy of the latest Waterhouse Times today while working in Entomology. The magazine officially comes out on Friday, and I will send out the hard copies to those who responded to my Facebook message. Here is the article! You can click through to read a large version:

Happy New Year (and parakeets!)
Jan. 1st, 2011 01:47 pmwieselkind and I were having a cup of tea this morning before she had to catch her train, when a very loud screeching noise came from outside. I looked up and saw three birds, and was about to turn away again when Heather noted they were parakeets! I should have recognized the shape in flight but I don't really expect to see parrots in England so it wasn't immediately obvious to me. They circled then landed on the flats opposite then dissappeared again in the direction of Ladywell Fields. They then came back (flashing brilliant green) and landed in the tree behind my flat. I took these photos from the porch:
Seeing these guys has lifted my spirits. Not only does it remind me of when I used to see big flocks of Aztec Parakeets flying over my house in Belize, but it's a treat on the first day of the New Year and makes me feel hopeful.
I may go wander around Ladywell Fields later to see if they're still around and I might get better pictures.
More on these type of parakeets here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose-ringe
