Harlen Chen, a freelance illustrator, held a pencil as long as he could remember, went into art deficit. One day he finally took the chance and began a new and familiar identity by starting up a new art blog, producing art once again. But he needed consistency.

After a single head-shot of a chubby pigeon was posted, the post blew up beyond 100 notes after an hour. Wasn’t sure if it was a fluke, but took a chance, thus started the series: Fat Bird Friday.

Join me in my art journey, through the growth, experience, and chonky birds.
