Collaborate to Stand Out on the Web with Pippa Tanko

<description>Find full show notes at and see all the birds here: https://creativesignite.com/the-benefits-of-side-adventures/

I am making 75 birds out of paper to create a new illustration style, find a process, refine that process, and then figure out what to do with what I have made. 

I am diving into birds and only a few different birds (for now). I want to get better at them and that takes looking at the same kind of bird a lot. 

You'll see a lot of geese, ostriches, flamingos, and seagulls. Lots of birds with long necks, and some short neck birds too but not as many.
