Ooo, I love #50, the parrot tail!

Now imagine contest holders are using this guide... "Please change Lower Wings of Tyger Moth to Head of the Cock..."

hahaha

This is amazing! ...and Handwritten?! It's perfection!
I wanted to tryout as a botanical illustrator...but when I found out that the artist spends 400+ hours on one illustration, I couldn't stay focused that long. : )))
Maybe I'll do one before the end of my life : )))

This is posted under 'General' so CHs can read...correct?

Was that his actual handwriting? Do we see anyone with handwriting like that these days? I remember when i was really young, I was taught cursive, but that stopped while I was still in school, they no longer teach it in schools, its a lost art :(
