Artist's Comments

In my recent trip to LA, I had the privilege of seeing California Quail. Something about their ridiculous little topknots made them look fussy and a trifle haughty. A quail with pearls and eyeglasses just kinda followed. I had sepia ink and some brown colored pencils with me, and the rest, as they say, is history...

What may make this even weirder is that judging by the markings, that would have to be a male quail...

It's about 8 x 10ish on 9 x 12 Arches hotpress watercolor paper. Slated for the Anthrocon art show, but available at the pre-con higher price if you absolutely must have it! Prints are also available for $10 plus shipping--send a note or visit [link] to order!

That it's a male quail makes it seem very Californian. Perhaps he's from San Francisco?

Why do they call it an XBox 360? Because when you look at it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away from it?

I love the crossed feet. And in spite of the pearls, he still seems very male.

This definetly made my day. Quail are awesome birds---their poncy little crests look like question marks to me. What could be better than a male-quail in pearls and lunettes? Fav!
