digital collage / mixed media

the layers beneath the picture
This is a response to an event that happened one quiet Sunday afternoon.... I was lazing around reading a magazine, when all of a sudden there was a loud *BANG* at the back doors that open to the backyard. A poor bird had flown into the glass doors and knocked itself out. At first I kind of panicked and was wondering what one is supposed to do with a dead bird. I was looking at it, then it blinked and I realized it was still alive. I started to pick it up, and it sort of flipped itself over onto its feet, but just stood there. So I picked it up again, and carried it over to the fence where the trees are, and it flew up into the trees. I'm assuming there's lots of bird nests back there.

cool stuff sis, I remember a similar story in For better or for worse. It was a hummingbird. It didn't have the windex factor though. :P
The first thing I saw was that the composition is left side heavy. I don't know if you did that one purpose, but it kinda bugs me. And you are giving away the secret of drawing hands! ... using reference (shhh)
-allison
and by left side heavy I of course mean right side... ahem.. heavy
Great composition (and story) bp!
anon - haha you mean your other left? *grin*
yeah it is right side heavy.... it was actually MORE right side heavy before cuz I didn't have the leaves drawing in the background. I should probably work on that.... it wasn't on purpose anyways. thanx for the crit.
