So why have I posted a giant chicken? There’s a simple explanation. You see, I started a new book project a few months back and it’s all about birds. I’m going to start showing some early concept work from the project, and what better way to usher in the first post then with a king-sized chicken!
By the way, the enormous chicken lives about forty minutes from my house, on the side of the road in Banning, Ca.

Hi justin! It must be quite a kick to achieve your ambitions at 23!! Great going!..... best of luck for your new project!
and thanks for visiting my blog...... will come by to see more from you!
Wow, what a great chicken! And the drawings are really great too ;)
If this is the early concept work, I can't even begin to imagine how great the finished book will look like. I bet it cures cancer and ends flat tires...
You have some awesome work here Sir! (thanks for the comment on our blog!)
Yeah!!!!More awesome book!!!!I love birds idea!!
Hi Justin. I saw you crow and immediately remember a bird I painted, actually a bird mask. Have a look, you might enjoy it. Keep up the good work.

Hello!!
Great artwork, Justin!
Congrats
ha! it screams right in your face! i like it man!
Ha ha, that's awesome. This will be one cool book man. I really like the two bird pieces as well, they're look'n real good.
Fantastic work, Justin, I really like the birds. Great stuff, man.
There's another giant chicken on the side of a road in the hills and hollers of Rooster, KY, or thereabouts. You've got a great blog here. Thanks for sharing.
Great chicken!! Have you heard about the headless chicken Mike? Try google search it, it's a fun story. HE ! HE! COol illos as always!!
Birds with teeth = good.
Great compliment Kookiejar, thanks.
Jared, yep, you know me--always trying to save the world with a pencil. Call me selfless, I guess.
Thanks Gordon and Alexei.
Gordon, just checked out your link. Yeah, that whole Northwest coast design was also a big influence on my project. Nice painting!
Hello Mauricio!!
Mega, screaming in peoples face is my specialty. It’s how I deal with "my issues"
Thanks Checkmark and Ryan.
Seth, There’s a giant chicken is Rooster, Kentucky you say. That's completely absurd :)
Alina, I googled the headless chicken Mike, and I want to cry now. Just when I thought I had a grasp on the workings of the world, something like this happens. I'm confused?
More books please!
...for some reason I feel like chicken for dinner.
haha looking forward to it like everyone else ;)
Chickens are not the best of them, but usually birds are cool. Well, pidgeons aren't, they're just filthy. Turkeys are cool because they're ugly and funny. Anyway, good luck with your book!
Cock-a-doodle-doo.. That's a big bird!! You could eat breakfast for a year on one of its' eggs. Now all we need is to find a giant pig for bacon..
Awesome work Justin! Caw-caw
Birds with teeth are truly frightening. The bottom one reminds me of the Sam the Eagle muppet, in a good way!
Tom Black Bird looks really sharp! Great job!
cool chicken!
And congrats on the book below! the cover looks ace :D
Must be a gender bending chicken then, it looks awfully butch anyway. The birds looks great
Thanks for the comments everyone.
Gabriel, lately I’ve been kind of into Emus. I like my birds primal and filthy.
Pickledog, yum, a king-sized breakfast. Sounds like a stomach churning goodtime!
potato farm girl, yeah, I was thinking about some of those old Jim Henson flicks when designing the characters.
Mattias, your right. I guess that giant chicken would in fact be a giant rooster.
wow... yer designs sooo cool!
:)mm
Jutin--You seriously ROCK! Awesome.....simply awesome.
chickens? did someone say CHICKENS? Say hello to the giant chicken for me. Oh how I love birds so a book about it will be awesome.
Miss Mindy,
Martin,
and Chickengirl--
Wow, what a swell bunch of characters! Thanks for stopping by.
I love Tom Black Bird. I'm using the word love. About Tom Black Bird.
Very cool pic. You might enjoy this one:

Josh, not meaning to be a spelling Nazi or anything, but I believe it’s pronounced excellent :)
Hey Greg, how’s the summer going? Your about to head back to school, right? —you lucky dog you!
Elliot, so how does Emu taste like? I bet it taste something like a mix of cotton candy, gym socks and meat loaf, right? Nice to hear from you man!
