tubby stickleback bird
ALT: acrylic and crayon drawing featuring a red bird-like creature, as described in the caption. It has some blue feather details, and a very large eyeball.

nerve endings
ALT: ink and crayon drawing. Weaving and winding black lines, with some pale purples and greens filling in some of the spaces. One way you could look at it, you might see the end of a bone, with some nerve endings (or bare trees, or river tributaries) touching it and nearby. If you see something else, that’s also correct.

hello friend
ALT: crayon and ink drawing. Colorful abstract wax crayon background, with a black ink drawing on it. It depicts a cartooney bird with a big beak and round eye, wearing a heart shape on its breast. There is some scratchboard work for texture in the legs and feathers. I think the bird’s expression is both wary and hopeful.

guard what matters
ALT: crayon drawing, abstract. There’s a rather large egg shape in the lower right quadrant. maybe sitting in water, or blue shadow. A purple shape stands over or beside it; could be a bird (if so, pretty small relative to the egg), or a swirl of heavy smoke? Anyway, it’s all before a backdrop of blue and green, with a sort of shadowy tree thing in the distance, above the egg .

bag of shadows
ALT: big pinkish red bag on a gray-blue background. The bag, I imagine, is lit from within, and shadows are cast of scraggly foliage, a flying bird, something like a dragon head, and maybe a weird shaped log. Actually I went to see “Feral”, a puppet and actor theater thing by Sandglass Theater, and they did something very like this in their production, where a tent-shaped prop became a huge bell skirt for a masked actor, a stage for puppetry, and a screen for shadow work. Brilliant stuff.
