Bow Tie Guy of the Day: Beluga Whale

Beluga Whale (bəˈlo͞ogə (h)wāl)

I have been aware of the Beluga Whale for some time. I love the size of their foreheads. It is called a melon and it can change shape which allows them to make facial expressions. They are related to the Narwhal.  The Narwhal Bow tie Guy can be seen here.

The Beluga whale is threatened by ocean noise and oil and gas development. For more information on the Beluga Whale and what you can do to make a difference go to the World Wildlife Federation website.

I love doing this project. I have discovered so many new and different animals. They are all so unique, beautiful, and odd. This makes me appreciate the world we live in more and more. It is so amazingly diverse. It is remarkable how interconnect everything is as well. The more I draw, the more I learn. The more I learn the more grateful I am for the world we live in and for the blessings we have received from God.

Happy New Year and a Goal for 2016

I am labeling 2016 “The Year of the Bow Tie Guy.” Just because I can.

In an attempt for me to draw more, I have set the goal to draw and post a Bow Tie Guy once a day, five days a week, for the year of 2016. There will be random posts, posts honoring individuals I look up to and that have influenced me. Periods of themed Bow Tie Guys, and numerous other approaches to the project. I hope to explore mediums and continue to improve my drawing and creative skills. In the end I hope to have 260 or more new Bow Tie Guys. I am also crazy.

Since I will not be posting on Saturdays and Sundays, this Ent is in honor of J.R.R. Tolkien who was born on January 3, 1982. His writings have influenced me greatly. The last time I read The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, I realized how masterful Tolkien is with his writing. Not only does he choose his words wonderfully but the way he structures his sentences is musical.
