Illustrator Brian Williams imagines extinct birds going out in style — dressing them in fashions from the year they went extinct.
Imperial Woodpecker, 1956. Poignant, yet well-dressed.
The Great Auk. Extinct 1844.
Carolina Parakeet, 1918
Hawaii ‘O’o, 1934
Laughing owl. Not so funny, when you think about it.
You can buy prints here.
Sadly you can’t see the birds, anywhere.

Aw, I like it. (not extinction, though).
Clever but so very sad. Poignant I suppose.
