I found Superman sitting on a curb in Barcelona

And there she goes with a banjo under her arm...

I am writing and illustrating a children's book at the moment. Here are the two main characters:


this character is based on my cousin, Josh, who is the same kid in the Overhead, the Albatross EP artwork.

Overhead, The Albatross

On another bird-related topic, I was asked to design an EP cover for a band called Overhead, The Albatross. They make lovely music and I enjoyed making art to it.

I know where the birds sleep

Yes, I found out where birds sleep. While walking through the Liberties on my way to college, I looked up and saw a very crowded tiny roof lined with sleeping birds. It warmed my heart that they all picked one roof out of about 10 attached roofs. Roofs or rooves? I had to look up 'roof' in the dictionary there to check it was an actual word as it occurred to me that it sounds very strange. roof.
