NZ bird art, illustrations and accessories by New Zealand bird artist Melissa Boardman
New(ish) year, New work!
I’ve been illustrating up a storm these last few weeks! At the start of the year I usually have a break and ease myself into the year, but this year’s been so busy already with wholesale orders and creating new work. One of my plans for this year was to keep expanding my print range, so I set a plan to illustrate some new birds to add to my current ones. I’ve been sharing a few work in progress photos over on my Instagram account and thought I’d put them up here too to give a little bit of insight into my process. The new prints are some of my favourite birds, riroriro (Grey Warbler), tauhou (Silvereye), kōtare (Kingfisher) and kōkako, these will be available through my website very soon. I’ve created the prints to look nice in a group, and with that in mind I’ve also added some print bundles to my shop, so if you purchase more than one print you can get the prints at a lower price. Here are some photos of the new illustrations in progress…
