Artist Jamie Allen spent the day at the Bishop Museum studying and drawing sketches from the Botany and the Vertebrate Zoology Collection Private collections. She is going to illustrate native Hawaiian birds important to the Hawaiian culture. Here are sketches of the i‘iwi and the ‘elepaio forest birds, as well as photos from the Bishop museums of the birds and the plants important to them. Luckily for us, both the i‘iwi and the ‘elepaio are still with us (unlike the ‘o‘o mentioned in the previous post), and conservationists today are working hard to protect them.

Well, I've always known Jamie Allen as a good sketch artist. Now, he has proved that he is not just good at one filed but also a good artist in so many ways. Just like what I have expected, he delivers a good result that's why many people are setting high expectation on him. Hopefully, we will be given the chance to learn how to draw like him and be recognized through our talent. I know that many people underestimate art. Perhaps, they just don't see the value of it!
