I have been messing around all day practically with pigeons but here's the only one I painted fresh today.

Aretha hat

I am adding hats to some of my pigeons that didn't turn out like I hoped they would and it is improving them GREATLY.

Please suggest types of hats to me I find I have an incredibly limited imagination about hats apparently???

Today's pigeon comes by way of a Noah request. One of them is an astronaut.

Today's PIGEONS! I'm so so proud of this one, I feel like I'm finally getting it back a little bit!

It's nice to feel this way! Highly recommend!

I was right he did need a top hat.

I am having a day. Another pigeon trying to get away from me.

I tried the same pigeon again and they look like completely different birds but I think this one went better

Today's pigeon is one I saw in the park this weekend. I got a lot of photos of it so I may do more of it

Kids are napping, I've got a very cranky pigeon, based on a photo by @banditelli.org

I had to take a few days off painting pigeons bc I was busy and apparently lost what little I had gained, which was disheartening! Nonetheless, a pigeon.

On Saturday, @authorsabb.bsky.social won the ALAN Award at @ncte.org, and I was honored to accept it on our behalf.

This is the speech I gave.
