Have been having an "at home" day today. So far I have done some much needed spring cleaning of my files and "stuff". "Stuff" being a pile of sketches and half drawn drawings and ideas. It sure does get out of control if you don't go through it on a regular basis!
I also had a bit of a fun doodle today and this drawing popped out. The bird is a Great Auk and unfortunately it is now extinct having been hunted in the middle of the 19th Century for food but primarily for it's down. Canada, Iceland, Norway, Ireland and Great Britain is where it lived. I'm not entirely sure what's going on here - I think perhaps the Great Auk is expressing his idea of a true beauty. Something like that anyway!
what a majestic Great Auk!
I know what you mean about finding yourself with piles of stuff to go through.. and sometimes it's even too hard to throw "stuff" out!
;)
happy weekend
