Puget Sound Bird Fest

Puget Sound area artists are invited to submit original artwork representative of Puget Sound birdlife to be used on the 2011 Puget Sound Bird Fest poster for promotion of the event taking place September 9-11. The poster format is 11” X 17”. A $200 prize, sponsored by Edmonds Arts Festival Foundation, will be awarded to the winner.

Of course, I used vector art, recreated the bird in illustrator and that might not be acceptable in this competition. If I have time, I might try and paint something to submit.

I got a little obsessed yesterday having fun with an idea for a Bird Fest poster. Apologies to the calligraphy artist of the past! Karen at The Graphics Fairy has some lovely flourish examples on her Spencerian Saturday.

Here is my mock-up of the poster. That was fun! No back to real work.
