For the Birds

I am still cranking out the cubes. I thought that since most of the bird images on my cubes are based on pigeons that I would share my thoughts on pigeons and why I am so attracted to them.

Pigeons serve as an excellent metaphor for humanity. They collect in large numbers at centers of consumable resources, they are largely individualistic and leave huge messes as evidence of their residency. However, if you just take the time to observe the pigeons and accept them for what they are, their beauty becomes evident.

Busy with my bird cubes project

Working on new bird sketches

Further progress on new piece

I am also deligently working on a total re-write of my artist's
statement. It will be less academic and sterile and more from the
heart - the source of my passion.

Progress

This is my newest piece with the background almost blocked out

Sketch on panel

Still in planning stages
