Bowerbird
The closest thing to a political piece I have managed so far.
The bowerbird constructs an arch-shaped ‘bower’ out of twigs and brush, decorated with trinkets (usually blue) to impress others.
What do you feather your nest with?
30×25cm, watercolour/pastel/ink on canvas.
By the way, those are not easter eggs. Nope. No chocolate in there.

Looks like fricasseed bowerbird on the menu. He should move to a better class neighbourhood. I like your style Firedrake, and your sense of humour.

Thanks! It’s really important to me that people see the humour in my work. I am a silly sort of a person at heart, always laughing at idiotic things…
Michael Alesich
Fire, I love you’re technique and you’re ideas. I am sincerely waiting for your story or animation.
Colin Cartwright
Once again, you’ve applied your imagination to this ‘pseudo-magpie’ nest builder.
Fantastic mixed elements, to emphasize your worrying concept, Kaitlin!
Very good use of mixed media here.
I like the detailed crop – shrapnel for easter!

not sure the helmet’s gonna save him… unless he’s gonna be able to hurl that thing a mile, or drop it in flight… thrilling piece!!
Firedrake replied
Ha! He’d have to get pretty high to do that!
