StarDucks: Birdish Critter In Motorsuit

An antagonist of sorts.

There is no denying that the inspiration came from those photos I took at the city zoo of Cordoba, Argentina. I have quite a fixation on Pelicans, haven't I?

On a totally unrelated subject: Did I mention that I love Steve Lambe's work so much that it hurts my head? And the same goes for Martin Wittig and fellow Matt Williames, who, btw, recently became a "hand drawing resident nomad" at this tiny aspiring studio :)

    Steve :) I had some "inspiring" Zillertal beers in Montevideo, last month. It's an Uruguayan beer brand. Very tasty. The funny thing is that the name sounds quite Austrian (there is a valley in Tyrol with the same name).

    John! Thanks a bunch!

    Joonas, cheers! How are you?
