Hi, my name is Jacob Bucy, I am an artist from West Virginia. I began drawing "the Birds "in 1999. What started out as scribbles and doodles in boredom has evolved into my first book. In April of 2021 I began doodling and drawing the various versions of the bird till one day I came home from work and came to the realization I had drawn 5000 drawings in just three weeks. Many things inspired the birds, prehistoric birds, various species like Blue Herons, Ibis, and cranes had a large influence on them. I also drew inspiration from cultures from around the globe. OF the many things that drive me to create, this book began as a result of that day I came home to those 5000 drawings. In 2005 I was diagnosed with bi polar disorder. That night I came home I realized I was in a manic episode. In September I finished writing the first rough drafts for this series. Since April of 2021 to September of 2021 there have been over 8000 drawings and 22 paintings and 36 books in this series. Often in the early days of the birds I would have quirky short stories in my head about a day in the life of these characters. "The Book of the Birds Vol:1 the Tribes of Parlo-5" is my first attempt to bring others into parlo-5 and the lives of the Birds.
