The Bird That Wasn't

[Q. G. Pennyworth]

I was walking back from the school this morning and saw what looked like a bird corpse on the pavement. It turned out to be a little city tumbleweed of fuzz, leaf fragments, string, and sticks, but for a few brief moments there I was sad for that bird that never existed. I don't know if I quite caught all the feels in this, but it's close to what I wanted.

You ever done a gallery show? Get some high-quality prints in nice wood frames and your work would definitely fly.

I've never given it any thought. I don't see myself as an artist at all, I just go through phases with different creative things. My mom did it, too. Actually, most of the women that I grew up around do it. Common scadian ailment.

Fuck do I hear that. I see people on here doing all sorts of creative shit and I wanna join in and fuck if I used to be able to but my muse in on hiatus. For about the last six years

Have you read the gospel of the First Church of GO OUTSIDE? That's how I started the flower project.

Also, I forgot to mention earlier how flattered I am that you like this, Nigel. The things you make are pretty and awesome and your praise means a lot.

Aw, Thanks!

I was working this up for a print document and I really liked how it came out! Still same license as the earlier version.

I like it.

I like this a lot. Your photo had me convinced I was looking at a bird until I read your words. Beautiful.
