These are fantastic birds, cannot believe it's taken me this long to draw one. The bluer the feet, the higher the sex appeal, obviously. Have a search for 'Blue Footed Boobie Dances' on youtube if you need cheering up.<br />

Yup, I've become slightly obsessed with 'The Walking Dead' TV series. Most living creatures don't exactly prosper during a zombie apocalypse but on the plus side, carrion birds thrive... Swings and roundabouts.<br />

Hello! If you have an eye on my <a href="http://www.twitter.com/alicetams" target="_blank">Twitter/</a><a href="http://www.facebook.com/birdsinhatsillustration" target="_blank">Facebook</a>/<a href="http://instagram.com/alicetams" target="_blank">Instagram</a> feeds you may well already be aware that I was lucky enough to be involved the <a href="http://thebigegghunt.org/" target="_blank">The Big Egg Hunt</a> in New York this year!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://thebigegghunt.org/" target="_blank">The Big Egg Hunt</a>, sponsored by Fabergè, is a huge charity fundraising event where over 250 artists are asked to paint giant eggs which are then hidden around NYC for the month of April! They're auctioned off at the end of the month and raise huge amounts of money for 2 seriously awesome charities. <a href="http://www.studioinaschool.org)" target="_blank">'Studio in a School'</a> - which brings the visual arts to over 150 NY public schools every year and the <a href="http://www.elephantfamily.org/" target="_blank">'Elephant Family'</a> charity, fighting the extinction of the endangered Asian Elephant. It's a brilliant event and I've loved seeing all the photos flood in of my birds in New York <a href="http://thebigegghunt.org/egg/140/" target="_blank">(egg140!)</a> on Twitter and Instagram. There are two days <a href="https://paddle8.com/work/alice-tams/28849-birds-in-hats" target="_blank">left to bid online</a> and view many of the eggs now collected at the Rockefeller Centre.<br />
<br />
As the event is coming to a close I thought I'd post a few of my progress photos online. I chose three of my most popular birds for the egg and was in New York for most of January painting it. Needless to say freehand painting three original illustrations onto the huge convex surface that was my egg took some serious time and effort - <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/alicetams/sets/72157644316805543/" target="_blank">you can find the full album here on my flickr.</a><br />

Not sure about the proper name of this hat? I know I had one when I was a kid and it was awesome.<br />

Yep, it's been a while since the last update. I did spend the first two months of this year in NYC and Australia, respectively, so that's my excuse. Many more Birds in Hats on their way and exciting news to share soon!<br />

So I've decided to upload a new Bird in a Hat every Friday, to reduce these ridiculously long gaps in posting. Time really does fly! I have moved into a new studio & gained new stockists in my home town of <a href="http://www.inkandthread.co.uk/">Derby</a> and in the lovely <a href="http://www.eclectic-living.be/">Bruges</a>! Managed to drop the stock off in person in Derby on a recent family visit, hopefully I'll be able to take a trip to Belgium one day..<br />

I'm back from Hong Kong! It's such an incredible, varied place, it has some brilliant parks (and aviaries!) hidden amongst the madness of Central and Kowloon, with half-deserted, forested islands just a £2 ferry away. I managed to see the critically threatened Spoon-billed Sandpiper at the Hong Kong Wetland Park, which is well worth a visit if you get a chance.<br />
<br />
I spent a Sunday in Stanley on the south side of Hong Kong island and saw these crazy birds - they have the longest tail of any Corvid, sound really odd and look amazing when they fly.<br />
I also came to the realisation while I was there, that I might be a full-blown bird watcher rather than bird enthusiast these days...<br />
<br />
Finally - & very excitingly - my favourite London market's Easter outing is coming up - it's <a href="http://craftyfoxmarket.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">the Crafty Fox market</a>, I'll be there this Saturday with a bunch of new things, but just go either day, it's cracking. It's held in The Dogstar pub, which is a five minute walk from Brixton tube station :)<br />

The Gentoo is a pretty good contender for my favourite penguin, and I decided I wanted one on a bag. <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/121906050/penguin-in-a-top-hat-cotton-tote-bag" target="_blank">So here he is!</a><br />

One of my personal favourites and another one that I designed for the <a href="http://maybeavole.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">Maybe a Vole</a>'s Christmas show - not just because I know a few human versions of this one but because I've been meaning to draw an Avocet for ages. It's the mascot of the <a href="http://www.rspb.org.uk/" target="_blank">RSPB</a>, a lovely charity that you should go join if you're in the UK.<br />
