Paul Harfleet and The Birds Can Fly Project
Throughout #Lockdown Paul Harfleet began drawing the birds he could see from his window. Comforted by the process, he asked his social media followers if there was a bird, they’d like him to draw. His intention was to punctuate social media timelines with an alternative to the growing horrors of the pandemic. A wide variety of requests for bird drawings emerged, a collection of ornithological favourites, drawn in pen, developed into a collection of prints to buy (available here). To promote this collection Paul began ‘gently referencing’ the birds he’d drawn in a series of ‘advertising spreads’ and sharing them – online, more in the video below and read more here.
