After last weeks ride on the Staten Island Ferry I continued to explore the southern tip of Manhattan's Battery Park. I could still gaze out and see the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island and Governors Island from land, but among all of the historical sites it was a little NYC Water Taxi that caught my attention. The splash of bright yellow really brightened up the skyline and the boats graphics are reminiscent of the famous NYC "Checker" taxi cabs!

Statue of Liberty
I'd like to extend a huge thank you, to those of you who have been writing me about my blog! I have appreciated the feedback and suggestions. A few of you requested that I expand the NYC Upper West Side card serious to include landmarks from all over Manhattan. I was inspired to start with the Statue of Liberty, when I spied our fair lady while riding the Staten Island Ferry. Thanks again and keep the comments rolling!

Bat Teeth Fossils
Some of my favorite illustration assignments involve documenting other peoples fun finds. I had the pleasure of illustrating fossils of an insectivorous bat, H. besaoka, for Dr. Karen Samonds. Her paper describing the new fossils from her paleontological expeditions to Madagascar has just been published! The citation is: Samonds, K.E. (2007). Late Pleistocene bat fossils from Anjohibe Cave, northwestern Madagascar. - Acta Chiropterologica, 9 (1): 39 - 65. My three illustrations of Hipposideros besaoka, A. lingual view of right maxilla B. labial view of right dentary and C. occlusal view of dentary can be found on page 50.
