Pelican - Bird Rescue

I've been reading a lot lately about organizations that are helping to rehabilitate birds that have been injured (or rather, oiled) in the BP oil spill. One company that I've been impressed with is Tri-State Bird Rescue and Research.

I'm a big believer that part of what makes our planet a great place to live are the diverse and beautiful creatures that inhabit it. Beginning today, I'm featuring products with this pelican design at my Zazzle.com shop. All proceeds from sales of these items will be donated to TSBR&R. If you're so inclined or inspired, I invite you to either buy one of these items or donate to them directly.

Alphabet Animals

I've created a separate blog for my printable stuff, so I thought I'd share some colored versions of the most recent batch of finished drawings. Be sure to go check out my printables blog at Print-a-Penguin. Happy coloring!

New Coloring Book Page

Thanks for all the great comments about the coloring pages. I've really enjoyed posting them here, and hope to keep it up for a while. (At any rate, it's nice to re-purpose artwork for my blog. I can be a little lazier and still post frequently.)

As everyone knows, D is for Duckling. It's also for Dog, Dolphin, Deer, Donkey, Dove, Dormouse, and Dinosaur. But I drew a duckling, so deal with it.

You know the drill... Click on the pic and print. Color with your box of 64 Crayolas. Stick on fridge. Repeat.

Contest Winner and New Free Coloring Page

Congrats to FLASHFOX for winning the "Name the X Animal" Contest. (Contact me through the email account on my profile with your address info so I can send your original drawing.)

As you can see, the winning idea was Xenops, which is a species of South American bird.

Thanks, Flashfox, for the great idea. And thanks to everyone else's great entries. I'll be holding another contest soon for a different letter, so stay tuned!
