Amazing. I love the open beak and the outstreached wings, they look great. The coloring of the bird is also beautiful. Great work!

Excellent work. The detail taken on the hands and fingers. The red used on the birds open wound is a vivid, almost serreal look. I love it! Fav+

When I was little, there was this horrible boy, Vito, he lived a few houses down from me. Anyway we were all playing outside, something stupid, I think it was What Time Is it Mr.Wolf? and we
heard these sharp little screeches, and when we went over we saw this tiny bird that looked like it might've fallen out of it's nest. So Vito goes over and picks it up, and starts throwing it up into the air and letting it hit the ground. I tried to stop him, but all the kids were so excited and no one was listening to me, which is an awful thing to see in children, I realize now, that kind of glee growing from something so appalling. I had to just leave, I felt like I was going to vomit. Birds are so fragile, when you hold one in your hand it's like you're holding nothing at all, it's hard to believe there's a tiny heart in there, beating.

Beautiful work, I love all of the stains and smears.
