I love birds, but especially hummingbirds. I only ever saw my first one after moving to the states. I was just stunned by them, enchanted by how special they are. I always like to throw birds into my drawings when I can.

One of these days I'd like to do a book about one. My general method for coming up with a story is to take an animal (I don't really like drawing people) and place it in a situation that at first seems stuipid or ludicrious. If the story has merit then it kind of tells itself and I'm just left to make the pictures as charming as I can.

Now what am I going to do with those hummingbirds?
