Commentary: This was done for a family newsletter years ago but I liked it enough to touch up and reshade a couple years ago. The bird is notable as he was the first original character I created, way back in second grade. Since I was in second grade, I named him Big Beak.

Part of me wants to strip out the shading and color this, but I think it's pretty evocative as is.
