Description Mortals look with jealous eyes
Upon the bird of paradise.
With haughty head
And feathers bright
That most coveted of birds takes flight.
But beware the biting beak of the
great hawk of sad Dystopia.

OK, so, show of hands, who else here loves Heironymus Bosch? Nobody? LOOK HIS ARTWORK UP NOW. It's so spooky. This little gem was drawn up after listening to twin art history lectures on Mikhail Vruble and Heironymus Bosch (both of them very spooky painters) and I knew I HAD to draw something surreal.

This little gem is going in my portfolio for art major reviews in a week, wish me luck! It is also for sale, to any interested parties. $50 or best offer.

(Check it out, I remembered to sign this one! I feel so official)

This has got to be one of the most awesome birds I've ever seen drawn. I love the style you use here, it almost looks like a page taken out of some ancient book. I can't love this any more than I do.

I like this mixture of the beauty of a peacock and then morphing it into something less regal. It's weird that you mention Hieronymus Bosch because I'm actually related to him through extended family in Holland, cool to see people still drawing inspiration from him

Related to him you say? Groovy! I've yet to discover any interesting people on my family tree. Except for possibly a crazy Scottish fur-trapper.

I think that your wispy style adds to the creepiness. Perhaps you are even more awesome than him!

More awesome than Hieronymus Bosch?! IMPOSSIBLE! I must say, you did make me blush.

Oh man, the little human elements make it so creepy. Delighfully disturbing.
