"Here's a calligraphic bird that did become a seasonal card but only appeared once back in '91. So I don't think many people have seen it or would remember it. This is a color scan. I wanted a monochrome effect. It is a PMS warm gray printed on pale gray French Speckletone paper."

"This calligraphic bird design has never been seen by anyone before. It's just been tucked away in a portfolio with other pieces I've done for my own amusement. — Black gouache on Canson cream, executed with an oblique flexible tip pen."
