That’s pretty cool.
A durty aul bird, haha.
mimi yoon replied
there are lots of these durty aul birds out there these days… it’s that time of the year :P… thanks simon~
Lys •
i like your anxiety visits
a lot
the little hint of red in there is stunning to say the very least, as are the streaks
mimi yoon replied
thanks lys for noticing the details… it was short but very useful release… : )
theyellowfury
We get crows all year round. They’re cool to watch. And one day last August I watched out the window as twenty or thirty blackbirds fought in the trees outside.
mimi yoon replied
should have taken some pics or have you?... must’ve been quite noisy too… :P
Troy Spencer
this is superior craftsmanship
mimi yoon replied
thank you very much troy… : )
coppertrees
Wonderful Mimi….Love it
mimi yoon replied
thanks vickie… : )
Mark Ross
Fabuloso Mimi! Such great movement and energy. Seems that anxiety works for you. LOL!
theyellowfury
It was and I didn’t. I was busy doing something. Cool though. At one stage one of them flew in and kicked his buddy off the branch he was on and he tumbled down about ten foot through the branches cawing the blackbird equivalent of “you fkn bastard you.” or that’s what I thought at the time. It all seemed pretty amiable.
mhkantor
wow! this is really phenomenal mimi.
mimi yoon replied
thank you sooo much mh !!! : )
Julian Escardo
When a few traces say a lot….......it has style, I like the trace lines and the light. Nice one Mimi!
mimi yoon replied
thank you julian… : )
Jared Revell
In only 20 mins you did this !!?
don’t know how you do it mimi.
I hope drawing this relieved some of your anxiety visit,
i like it, the crow has so much character, and so much detail too, even in his feet.and that eye..
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much jared…
took 20 minutes because i painted the bird three times… first two times, it was too big… i had to wet and wipe it off twice…
Gregory John O...
Beautiful piece
mimi yoon replied
thanks gregory…
David Roman
Black bird singing in the dead of night. Quite lovely Miss MiMI. Some of us should be so lucky in being half as creative in our down time!
mimi yoon replied
thank you mr. david… we all have our own moments… i am more creative in darker moments but most creative when my world is wet…
chelseal
wow, something like this would take me probably weeks!
hahha
this is really great
mimi yoon replied

JonnyMarvel
Great texturing
mimi yoon replied
thanks jonny… it’s the combination of rough canvas texture and some old cheap brush… and of course, my handling of ‘em… :P
chemis
i can feel it; a few moments in my creative head always clears the troubles away.
i like the brush strokes – very crazed and zesty
mimi yoon replied
thanks chemis… what will we do without our creative mind…
i always love your comments chemis… crazed is the perfect word… and zesty adds a cherry on top.. : )
Alvaro Sánchez
if i just can do things like this in 20 mins..oh my!

Shannon Byous ...
Intense and beautiful.
mimi yoon replied
thank you shannon… : )
David Roman
Humm Miss MiMI when your world is wet??? Oh that sounds so romantic to me my friend! “I am more creative when my world is wet she told him as they kissed” ” But only in my darker moments as she led him to the bed” Oh my Miss MiMI you make a mans mind wander all over don’t you!LMAO
mimi yoon replied
i think only to you, silly mr. david… rain wet… :P
but i guess you could have some fun… with words… :P
David Roman
Only you my sweet butterfly inspires me to look deeper for words to describe what your words do to me! Like your art your words offer me the freedom to dream and explore new meaning and to scramble them as I do your art in search of a deeper fuller meaning for me.And then dream a fuller dream that only you can help me obtain. Silly me dare have a dream !;))) Hummm
scott allison
holy crap mimi! what a great bird! i love it!

Nina Rycroft
It’s so much more than a blackbird. The darkness and fury of the brush. It captures the imagination.
mimi yoon replied
thank you nina… love your words… the darkness and fury of the brush… indeed…
i love your illustrations.. you certainly know how to capture the imagination…
Chet King
Red thingy, in Japanese it’s called a han.

Holly Ringland
mmm, this is gorgeous and dark and frantic and i love it mimi. the streaks, the drips… but the peacefulness of the blackbird… and the one splash of red, the one red feather… makes my heart skip a beat. it’s something that’s been in my notebook of ideas for a while :) beautiful beautiful work and yay you for turning anxiety into this.
mimi yoon replied
thanks holly… i don’t know if that idea of yours was for a photo image or a writing, but may be we could turn this into a collab work… btw i love your words holly… your writing works are beautiful : )

Pete Katsiaounis
Beautiful. Love the menacing feel to this. And the subtle use of red is masterful. Plus I LOVE crows – they’re scary but comical.

mariarty
Very expressive, love the energy.
mimi yoon replied
thank you so much, marie… : )
cammiecakes
This rocks!!! I love it.
Barco
The work has power. Ravens and crows are messengers. They bring news, usually of ill events happened or future. I like the way the bird directs our view away to the right where we find what is deeper still than the bird alone depicts. Thanks for sharing.
mimi yoon replied
belated thank you barco… appreciate your very thoughtful words… : )
fullcirclemand...
I can so relate Mimi – some days I just paint, paint, paint – its amazing what comes out !
I’m very fond of ravens and of minimalist limited palettes – Love it!
mimi yoon replied
belated thank you fullcirclemand…. i apologize for the late reply, and i truly appreciate your kind words… : )
Patricia Ariel
amazing the way you used your feeling at the moment to generate such powerful piece. that’s so deep and beautiful and so many ways…
mimi yoon replied
i really appreciate your wonderful compliments… mean so much coming from an artist of your caliber… thank you… : )

johnny hancen
xanex has helped my work.(i think) i love this piece.i’m sorry you have anxiety. your work is great with, or without arising conditions. rock on -Johnny
mimi yoon replied
haha… my anxiety attack is nothing of that degree… often at work (i teach art ) i want to create but if a parent walks in or if i have to do a consultation or just don’t find an inspiration, i become a bit edgy or anxious… it’s the urge to create that causes it… : ) thank you johnny… with the anxiousness (felt like i had one cup of coffee too many) i painted this piece like a lightening has struck…. : )
tomrhody
Perfect.
