Clookshla is from old T’Sou-ke legends and he lived in a time before humans, where animals could take human form whenever they wished. Clookshla is a sinister character with stories of stealing ( of course ) , greed , and eating his own grandson. All the stories I have heard about Clookshla tell tales of him doing whatever it takes to acquire food and portrays him as being greedy but intelligent.

This is from a series I did on ravens this year. I worked with the two ravens housed by the Vermont Institute of Natural Sciences, a wonderful raptor rehabilitation center in northern New England, not too far from where I live. The original is still available and of course you can buy a high quality print or notecard through Red Bubble! If you’d like to see more of my artwork, please visit my website and sign up to to be on my mailing list. Thanks again for your interest, enthusiasm, and support! It means a lot to me. PS I may not be able to reply to all your comments—but really, I appreciate them all so much.

This crow was standing on a stump next to the Coliseum in Rome.

Bird of ill omen is perched on a cheerful yelllow “ominous”. Edgar Allen Poe’s raven said “Nevermore”, which I suppose is a lesson to us all to only ask questions which we would prefer to be answered in the negative. The raven/crow family are second only to the parrot family in intelligence in the bird kingdom, and have been witnessed to have the ability to reason and use tools. “The Mind of the Raven” is the story of one man’s devotion to their study.

On Zazzle / On DeviantART Anyone, but ANYONE who does not fullview this … or at least check out the details here so help me, will feel the wrath and indignation of a thousand cracked tablet pens (unfortunately, yes, I did) and the howling fury of the Demon of Unseen Deer / ... / I did add a deer, incidentally. And spent awhile getting it right, even down unto the highlight of the eye, zoomed out a bit and realised … well. If you can even spot it, you’ll understand :XD: Also, a hedgehog, by request >.> Details / Time Fourteen hours… over four days. I think the last picture I spent this long on was Waterborn_ checks Oh, no that was ‘only’ ten hours. Hey, new record :D / Tools Artrage 2.5 and a tablet. I hold the pen too hard.. it’s breaking up (which is also why my traditional pencilwork usually … dies). / Hmm… I have a :zombie: pen. Does that make any future art necromantic? LINKS TO OTHER GOODIES andlessgoods / Wallpapers / Animals / Fantasy / Earlier version/woodland bookmark thing / Even earlier WIP Before anyone comments on my photoshop techniques, please check the rant/warning under this deviation and also, go HAVE A LOOK AT ARTRAGE (Critique on anything else is very welcome!) / This is NOT Photoshop, I have to paint everything in there (except for the glitter tools, which is basically… glitter or paint spatters, but I still have to do something more with them). When I want to change the lighting I add a very thin paint wash over the relevant areas and blend/erase lightly until the shadows match. / ——Extras / This is … a mixture of things. Wanting to paint a woodland scene, recent compliments on my animals and realism(ish) eshkenazi’s “A Star for a Heart’ contest which has been floating around in my head for awhile, saimain’s Forsaken which I keep wanting to paint something ‘like’ whenever I see it… the green forest nymph being in the Fantasia 2000’s Firebird (as seen set to remarkably well suited music here where I first saw it) / Also karringray’s entry for my Flight contest (Finding Her Wings ) (Something about the pose, the level of detail, and the fairly monochrome colouring…) which is convenient as – or possibly because – this is her prize for getting second place. I got to experiment with moss and lighting and water and animals and colour and blending and whimsy. / The white flower/star/heart was vaguely modeled after the eidelweiss flower (means ‘alpine star’) / Forest guardian spirit. Old and wise and ever new, part of the forest and no, there is no gender or sex, it just didn’t fit – they embody all and neither. / I used no references (except for memory) and thus I discovered that I can’t paint little passerines and so forth – I wanted a wren, but :shrug:. But it had become a point of pride, so I left them out :D / I could have added more animals, but I wanted to maintain a certain level of realistically expectable visible species.

When I was 20, I drove into the mountains to stay for a while. On my way, I stopped off just outside of Hinton, finding an isolated place to sleep and fish. I just finished setting up camp when a strange sound started to spread through the shallow valley, getting louder and more confused by the moment. I walked out to shore and from around a bend came what seemed like hundreds of black ravens silhoutted against the glowing sky, screaming their crackling urgent song. It went on forever and like a cloud they passed by, rushing downriver. I always wondered what they were singing, and I wanted to take flight and find the mysterious end to their sunset journey. - 24” x 36” / Mixed Media / on Canvas

Our hearts are locked inside us, safe, beating away the minutes like the determined sound of a deep, dark drum. The warrior takes his heart out of his chest. It is touched by the air, by the sun, by snow and rain. Anyone who passes by can reach out and touch the warrior’s heart. It is sensitive and vulnerable, and can easily feel the soft brush of tears. It beats to the song of creation, and all who pass by can feel it in their bodies, their own heart responding , aligning, and breathing with that implacable rhythm. It is fierce and active and filled with fire. The raven attacks the open heart at the same time as he protects it, caught between entropy and the growth of new stories, new moments, untold and unfinished lives. There are new worlds forming, called into being by the unstoppable heart…and raven, the carrion eater, will do as he must, and bring them light.

An often elusive member of the Crow family, this beautiful bird is often heard rather than seen.

“Crow Magic” depicts the significant place Crow (and Raven) hold in First Nations mythologies around the World. To some he is bringer of the first light of morning and the guardian at the gate as Light departs the World each night. He is a trickster, a jokester and magician, even a spokesperson for some. He is the conveyer of mysteries, his presence portends supernatural events and so on. Crow is sacred, Crow is handsome and more often than not, he is the bringer of much mischief! :o-) The background is a recent forest photograph taken in fog here on Vancouver Island. This art print is Skye’s most recent work of art paying tribute to this remarkable creature of flight. 25% of proceeds from all sales is donated to Wildlife Direct at: wildlifedirect.org, to help them protect other remarkable species around the World. Thank you for helping us to help this great organization.

This spiritual design by Skye, is a tribute to the sacredness of Wildlife and indeed, of all Life. A wild Crow flies before a sacred Totem Pole which depicts the symbolism of many animal forms including Man. (A different coloured version of this beautiful image is available, if warm sepias aren’t to your taste.) The background image for this work was taken shooting into the Sun in a dense fog. 25% of proceeds from the sale of this item are donated to Defenders of Wildlife at: www.defenders.org. / Thank you for caring.

I think these are evil-looking feckers, but they’re as tough as old boots! Taken in the grounds of Wakehurst Place, West Sussex. This botanical gardens is linked with Kew Gardens in London and is set in 456 acres of land, with 20,000 different types of trees and plants and is home to the Millennium Seed Bank. Thousands of seeds from around the world are stored in an earthquake- and bomb-proof bunker.

The smallest corvid from England and Europe, the Jackdaw (Corvus monedula) can often be found roosting in peoples chimneys. They are considered a pest as they can be significant predators of eggs of many ground nesting birds when in high numbers. Taken in Arcos de la Frontera, south Spain.

A beautiful and very bold crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos) landed in a snag just meters away from me at Lighthouse Park, West Vancouver, BC. Moments after this image was captured, the crow took flight and flew past almost within arm’s reach. Canon Rebel XSi / Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM / 1/400, f/8, -1/3, ISO 200, 200mm, hand held

This Northwestern crow (Corvus caurinus) watched on as a mass of ducks, gulls and other crows swarmed a man providing food near a lake shore. Canon Rebel XSi / Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L USM / Canon EF 1.4x II / 1/500, f/5.6, -1/3, ISO 200, 280mm, hand held

Northwestern crows (Corvus caurinus) tend to have extraordinarily large populations in many urban centers, making them a common sight. Numerous encounters probably provide people with opportunities to see this bird behave in the manner of a pest. Such nuisance behavior may include tearing through garbage bags and spreading the refuse about, shredding bagels on a water fountain, large flocks (called murders, hordes or parliaments) patrolling picnic areas and sometimes chasing other birds away, and cawing loudly in the early morning. Perhaps due to the dense populations, a lackluster black color and their various antics, crows are often not the most revered of birds. However, these avians are likely among the most intelligent and adaptable of avians. They have complex social structure and a strong problem-solving ability. They are capable of adapting to a broad range of habitats, from woodland to central business district. Such realities make these birds very fascinating to watch and consider. The photos in this calendar capture but a smattering of their complex behavior and the abundance of environments, both urban and wild, in which they live. All photos were taken in Greater Vancouver and Victoria, BC.
