In this beautiful, collectible new volume, street artist Matt Sewell offers his own unique take on 52 of our favourite British garden birds. Since its first appearance in July 2009, Matt`s ` Bird of the Week` feature for the Caught by the River website has quickly become a cult hit. His pop-art watercolours are distinctive & enchanting, as are his innovative descriptions, which see great tits `bossing the other birds around`, the `playful yet shy buoyancy` of bullfinches & the `improbable` nature of the waxwing (`like a computer-generated samurai finch`). With 52 birds, one for each week of the year, this delightful gift book will appeal to bird watching enthusiasts, children & adults, & art & illustration fans alike. ...
