citybird2

This is based on an earlier drawing that I really liked and yet felt unsatisfied with.... and seeing as my life is so full of pigeons right now, it seemed obvious to revisit this. Halfway between despair at mans arrogance scarring the landscape, and awe at the wild drama they create in their own right. The imagery really attempts to pinpoint nature as a robust clinger on and improviser, not a fragile wilting thing. Having come out the other end of this, I generally think it's an improvement, but at the same time suspect the nondescript finch /robin contrasted more. Hope you like it.

Do I love or hate the city? I don't know.

Frequently it features as the drab backdrop to magnificent or dire things.

Great events only sometimes command great backdrops.
