Ian Davie, Feather Painter Extraordinaire

We've all marveled about the beauty of feathers and have used them as part of our fashion, but very few people have decided to take it upon themselves to make feathers even more beautiful. Ian Davies is one such person. While the idea of painting on feathers is not new, the level of detail and intricacy in Ian Davie's feather paintings are what make them amazing. Inspired by the Maori feather drawings, Ian Davie took his outdoor and taxidermy experience and combined it into his art. Surprisingly, Davie had never picked up a paintbrush before he was 40, guess that means he must be one talented individual! Hopefully, we can get an interview with him in the next couple weeks! You can see some of his pictures after the break. You can view his site at featherart.net
