Bird Bone Hats
Description: "The Aviary Within" is a striking work of surrealist digital art that reimagines the human ribcage as a vibrant sanctuary for nature. By replacing the biological heart with a flurry of iridescent hummingbirds, this piece transforms a symbol of mortality into a living, breathing ecosystem. It is a powerful juxtaposition of structure and spontaneity, offering a poetic meditation on the wild, energetic forces that reside deep within the human spirit.
Description: A detailed anatomical depiction of a hummingbird, rendered as a skeleton, is shown in profile facing left. The skeleton transitions into abstract splashes and splatters of neon green and pink, extending from its wings and body onto a black background. The outline is sharp and detailed.
Description: A design with a Southwestern vibe, a steer skull, feathers and roses in dark brown. The phases of the moon and barbed wire span the space between the skull's horns. A birds nest sits on one horn, a lizard and spider in a web occupy the other horn. Roses and vines wind through the openings in the bone. Bird feathers flank both sides of the skull. Reproduced from my original ink line drawing.
Description: The vultures of Africa are becoming extinct faster than any other endangered species. Poachers poison the prey of a single rhino or elephant caucus, which kills dozens of vultures, with the aim of killing these essential birds, because the circling vulture gives away their location of crimes and inhumane acts. This image is a dedication to these birds who are being wiped out purely because of greed.
