Description This is for my friend Josh. I took my crow with a rope, screenprinted him, mounted him onto a panel, and gave him an acrylic makeover. (I personally think that acrylic paints are sent from hell, but that's just me)

This is unusual process for me, as I find cutting and pasting and painting using gluey mediums way too messy. I prefer the precision of tiny brushes and needles.

8x10 inches. Mixed (screenprint, acrylic, source of one of my scratchboards)

This is very striking, I think it shows the playful side that crows have. Most people don't realize that crows are highly intelligent. You can see it in his gaze.

''I personally think that acrylic paints are sent from hell, but that's just me.''

I REALLY don't like them. they're very bold. don't do what you say. they're the poorly trained mongrel of mediums.

Hey, no apologies. I feel the same way. When they behave they look fantastic. When they don't, I hurl my palette across the room.

I don't know if you realize how creepy these birds are. I opened my front door once to find 7-8 of them outside my door eating trash.

On your picture though, I think you did a wonderful job

Reminds me of the crow from the Rats of Nihm. the red and the black play together so well.
