Two birds in the hand Written on February 15, 2010, by Zack.
The perceptive among you will have noticed that last week there was no Sketcharoo. For this I am sorry. I realize there’s no assuaging the flood of betrayal and hurt that you feel. Part of me thought that, as penance, the best course of action would be to just shut down my site, throw my computer out the window, and cut off my drawing hand. Instead, I cut off that part of me that thought that and now feel less guilty.
Besides, I painted two versions of this week’s Sketchroo to make up for it!
FURTHER BONUS: I made an iPhone wallpaper of both versions, so take your pick:
I would be amiss not to mention how gratuitously I pilfered from John Martz’s illustration style for the second version of the bird. Homeboy’s got a great aesthetic and I couldn’t help but try it out myself.
Oh, and for the record, that’s a European Robin.

Makes me smile.
I like Version two the best but they are both awesome.
i picked the first one as my wallpaper
Version 2 is happy on my iPhone.
So, not having an iPhone, I feel a bit left out. Can you make me a sticker with bird #1 on it, about 1 inch wide by 2 inches tall that I can slap on the back of my motorola….. phone (the words have faded off so I don’t know what model).
Alternatively, can you make me a deck of playing cards, each sporting a different bird from Washington State? That’d be cool, thanks. ;)
Thanks guys, glad you like them (and are actually using the iPhone wallpaper versions)!
Tyler, if I could easily make stickers, I would. Until then, I recommend just finding a European Robin and tying it to your phone. Also, I’d love to make a deck of playing cards featuring the birds of Washington. Get me a publisher and payment and it’s yours!
