Avian Lineage 8

A series that harkens to my final days as a printmaking student - Everything from the concept to the materials was a return to things I liked and enjoyed about making imagery: Working in a sequential series; non-archival, temporal materials; and depicting monstrous animalia... The idea here was to show an evolution - perhaps degradation - of birds, perhaps bats, and bird-like ancestors... The endgame for me was to arrive at "flight" within a series of panels. (Colored pencil, cheap-ass acrylic and torn paper on gessoed board) As usual, there is no deep meaning here - just a whimsical portrayal of critters that change over a sequence.

For once, I decided to bring closure to a sequence on a "high" note - that is to say, a positive, Utopian finale... While all trace of the organic is gone, the superstitions and fearsome beliefs are cast aside as well...

AS I wrote at the beginning, no meanings here - just cute illustrations, right?
