I’ve been looking around Dribbble where I found Glenn Jones’ portfolio. I’ve seen his work before and I was inspired by his flat vector style. Here is my attempt to apply his basic style to a previous photo I took at San Diegutio River.
Happy Labor Day!
I’m attempting to develop a vector illustration style that I enjoy and I feel captures birds. I made this illustration referencing a photo of a Song Sparrow in my backyard. Lately, I’ve been really drawn to lighter colors and minimal pieces, so you can see that in this piece.
It’s hard to try to reduce a specific bird species to it’s basic elements while still making it obvious what kind of bird it is. I think I might have slightly overdone it with this bird, but Song Sparrows have such elaborate markings that if you reduce them it doesn’t look like itself.
Hope you enjoy.

I thought that I would post some behind-the-scenes images of the new Birding Ninja logo. I created the logo in Adobe Illustrator CC and I hope you enjoy. The whole process took about 3 hours, but I wasn’t being super nit-picky and would take a considerable longer time on client work but since the lack of an icon was driving me nuts I thought that I would throw something together. For my logo work, I’m relying more on the golden ratio idea and find that I really like the results better than just “eye-balling” it and I think that I’ll make this a regular part of my design arsenal. Hope you enjoy.
