Kill The Pigeons
As some of you may (or may not) remember, I had a desktop available for downloading on the old site called "Kill The Pigeons". The illustration was done for a book by author Avitrol Jones, and soon after I finished the illustration, I put it in the "probably not going to happen" pile.
Well — it turns out I was wrong. "Canceled Flight" has been recently published, featuring 101 different ways to kill pigeons. Numerous artists contributed to the book, including my own personal gotta-sees such as Jon Burgerman and John Copeland.
I really enjoyed the book, on a humor level, and I also have to say some of this art is just gorgeous - I'm quite proud to be included with this bunch. So check it out; especially if you are in need of a few flying pest-removal solutions...

WOW! Not that I ever expect to see something unterrific from you, but...WOW!
The subject matter reminds me of that old Tom Lehrer song.

congrats, Kevin! This is great! Is this a book aimed at children or adults?
7. bearskinrug
Thanks Rachael! I'd say adults. But I'd like to think children might get their hands on this too, so they can ALSO be offended by the content. :)

This is exactly the kind of thing that my mother would have read to me- along with the edgar allan poe and victorian horror classics....
birds DO sleep in pools of ketchup, right?
