I thought it was high time to write another update about what I've been doing at the Brighton office.
Since I last wrote, I have made another poster (see above), which was for a science fair stall about owl diets - hence the owl chef! (That's right, it really does say 'house sparrow roast' on his menu!)
Over the past few weeks I have been working on a series of illustrations for the RSPB's Pulborough Brooks reserve. These will be going onto the information boards around the reserve, highlighting things for visitors to notice and look out for. So far I have drawn a mole, a plump of moorhens and a hedgerow full of berries and small animals. Luckily, I was able to go and visit the Pulborough reserve before I started making the pictures, which has been incredibly helpful. Everytime I begin a picture, (as well as looking up images online), I take myself back to that day and it really gets me in a creative mindset!
Today I have been doing some more illustrations for Jenny, to go in the Summer edition of Involve for the South East Region. One of these pages was especially interesting, featuring the Gola rainforest. I now know what a white-necked picathartes looks like, and if someone says the word 'bongo', I might think 'antelope', rather than 'drum'!
Anyway, hope you've enjoyed reading,
Rebecca
