Chickadee 01, 8 x 10 inches charcoal on paper, for The Perfection of Small Birds, by Poet Hannah Gerber
Hannah was only looking for cover Art, but when commissioned to do only one design a lot of preliminary sketches are presented also, partly as a way of warming up but also to give clients a selection. As a result, extras were also used on inside pages.
