Among the Birds
Lyanda Lynn Haupt and visual artist Justin Gibbens discuss birds and their art at Elliott Bay Book Company in Capitol Hill on Tuesday, September 1. Haupt, who writes about avian life and urban ecology, appears alongside Gibbens, whose embellished wildlife drawings blend scientific precision with unconventional techniques. If you're curious about how people observe and represent the natural world, this is a rare chance to hear from both a writer and an artist working in that space.

Lineup

  • Lyanda Lynn Haupt
  • Justin Gibbens

    Justin Gibbens uses the conventions of wildlife illustration and traditional Chinese fine-line painting in surprising and unconventional ways. His embellished and stylized images celebrate the beauty and strangeness of the natural world, and serve as cautionary tales and stand-ins for our anthropocentric selves.
