Birds By the Sea – and other Birds Illustrations
I love watching birds. The »Birds by the North Sea« will be printed on the interface of an audio installation in a science center. Visitors identify birds on display by the illustration and then press a button to hear their calls.
The birds are drawn as vector illustrations in a rough and sketchy style. Their posture meets the posture of the stuffed birds on display, so people can better identify them.
There are some other brds I always wanted to draw so I will add a bird every now and then when I find the time to draw another one. New birds will be added at the bottom of the page.
