dunno where exactly this idea came from, but I do know I was thinking that America needed a younger National Symbol Critter.
i was redoing an older, less successful piece in a cleanup, and out came this guy. this is a younger, sexier, and skinnier bald eagle. my idea of the attitude of the tail end of Gen X and Gen next (I forget what it's called)

this is some of my best Avian work, ever
