bird-bird waits for you each morning at the kitchen window. he stands there waiting for you to rise for the day and fix yourself a cup of coffee or maybe some orange juice. he likes watching you do your morning sudoku puzzle. he likes the way you look when you're concentrating. the smile you get when you figure out a difficult part in the puzzle. and as you leave for work or the just to go to the park to read, you drop him a fist full or sunflower seeds and say "don't poop on my car today" where upon he replies "never do!"

bird-bird is an original watercolor drawing on acid free paper with an acid free matt which has landed itself in a 5"x7" frameless frame. you can hang this little guy up in your cubicle at work so you can think of your wonderful mornings together even during the harsh work-day, or set him up on the nightstand of some distant hotel you're staying at on a long trip someplace warm so you'll still be able to enjoy being stared at by a bird from your kitchen window.

$20.00
"ya'll ain't from round here are yuh? uh-hyuck!" you best just steer clear of these back woods folk. they don't take kindly to gawkers, trail walkers, fast talkers, or nobody! well, that is unless you'd be bringin' round some fine mountain thunder-water to share with the whole family. then you can rest at ease knowing that you're not going to go disappearing off in these woods. did you remember to tell someone where you were going today? i hope so, cause i forgot to mention that fine mountain thunder-water you brought makes these two weapon wielding maniacs full of blind fury! if you're lucky you'll only be limping home with a butt full a buck-shot.

what better way to make friends than quickly? seriously. and what's a great way to go fast? a bike you say? you don't have to stop at stop signs, or have a license, or even use your hands...hell, you can ride a bike blind drunk if you like. i'm pretty sure you can still get busted for that, but while you're in the tank you can make best friends with all the other folks in there. they'll invite you over to watch them play yard-darts with frozen rats or like the time when i met this one guy....oh crap, i got off topic here. where was i? oh yeah--buy a bike, make friends fast...life is awesome!

this is an original watercolor/pencil drawing on acid free paper with an oval-cut acid free mat in a 5"x7" clip frame.
