Talking Crows
Here, thanks to Photoshop, are both sides of a Mylar template used in oil-based ink monotype work. Sometimes I find the residual ink is so interesting that I just let it dry and tack it up on the wall. Since I use the templates over and over, the many layers of ink from different printing sessions adds an interesting dimension.

Sprite Crows in India
Hurray for the ad firm in India that came up with this commercial based on the intelligence of crows.

Pecan in the Parking Lot
So I got to my apppointment early and pulled in the Target parking lot to figure out the hands-free phone contraption in the car. A lone crow was cruising for something to eat. It has been raining a lot lately, so all the birds come out during the dry periods and look for food. In the suburbs, of course, where better for a crow to search than parking lots.
Always prepared for corvid contact, I had a bag of pecans handy. I got out of the car with the bag and krinkled it up so it would make that good "food is in this kind of bag" noise. The crow was immediately alerted. Paused. Watched. Waited. I dropped a few nuts, lightly broke the shell and retreated to the car. I'll have to start carrying a better camera than the iPhone has if I'm going to keep this up.

Zip Disk Crow
Well, finally. I thought I would see a crow everywhere I looked. I see faces in kitchen implements, parking meters, clouds--you name it. Surely I can spot a few corvids. Didn't. Couldn't. And then, cleaning out the computer stuff, I popped open a zip disk. I never did before and had no idea that the "disk" was this circular Mylar looking thing. A perfect beak. Anyone else spot crows in disguise? Send them in!

Corvid Lookout
This monotype, Watcher #5, was done with a lot of layering of a water-soluble ink, Akua Kolor. One of the reasons that I love using crows to represent birds is the ease with which you can read their body language. Deliberately omitting beaks and eyes, I invite the viewer to interpret the intention of the bird. What will it do in the next second of its life? Don't you get the feeling that it depends on what YOU are going to do? Think about it. In the instant captured in this image the crow will take immediate action depending on your motion or stillness. On a larger scale, what humans do is a very large determining factor in the lives of our wild species.

The Crow Bar Coasters
If you've visited my Crowcentric blog (all things crow) you will have seen a posting about a pub and kitchen in Corona Del Mar, California, called The Crow Bar. I had a delightful dinner there. So I'm featuring their creative coasters as well as a lovely piece of etched stemware by Alone Larsen.
