My Name is Zach Widgren and By The Way The Bird Flies is a project where I have been collecting stories from people I know and random people I meet. I start out by recording a story from whomever, then I will re-listen to the recording and draw a portrait with the story actually inside the drawing. I am hoping to continue this for an entire year and file them into a book. The pictures and videos below are some that I have collected. Enjoy….Tumblr (3.0; @bythewaythebirdflies)http://bythewaythebirdflies.tumblr.com/<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/b8c026ea8848ef112a7dfcafedb8801c/tumblr_mhe8gqrsYB1r7pb19o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>«<Kenbo Liao»></p> <p>«<Animator I met in Taipei and full of words.
