Giraffa camelopardalis

Hi Ching Ye, we have so many mutual friends in the world of Animation and your story has been mentioned by several of them. I hope that your recovery is going well and that I can help to inspire your drawing in some way. I went to Taronga Zoo (in Sydney) today and forgot my sketch pad. The zoo didn't have paper to give me and before I could find a pile of napkins to sketch on, I saw this tiny sketch pad made out of Elephant dung. Lovely texture without the scent one might expect :-)

A little bird for CY


When I found this little honey-eater the day it fell out of it's nest, it had broken tail, patches of bare skin with ants all over it, and it couldn't even hold it's head up. A few days later it had a verocious appetite, and was wobbling in and out of it's 'bed'. A week later it could take small flights ot land on the floor. Now (a month later), it's flying around my room. It totally reminds me of you CY!

It's tail feathers are still crooked, and it isn't strong enough to fly outside yet, but it's a brilliant patient and is getting better in leaps and bounds :)  xx Rosey
