Artist's Comments

So this was very spur of the moment - it always seems that whenever I get the urge to tidy up, do some spring cleaning and sort stuff out, I stumble across an old art pad with nothing in it, get some inspiration, and spend the rest of the day drawing surrounded by the clutter of a half tidied room.

Once again I was exploring a kind of Susan Seddon Boulet type feel here, with my trusty prismacolour pencils, and whilst I was drawing I was trying to think of an appropriate title for it rather than 'Bird', and then I remembered this story we read when we were kids from the Puddlelane series - about the Tidy Bird, I dont quite remember all of it, but there was this bird that would tidy stuff away if you left things lying around, and you would know it was coming cos it made this ringing sound or something. Anyway, in the books it was illustrated by this red light I think, and I'd like to say that that's why I did the red breast, but really I was just livening up the blue and I realized the red was appropriate afterwards!

Anyway I'll stop rambling!

It was a whistle... and the tidy bird could be invisible and all that could be seen was a little red light hovering on top of it;s head.... i prefer your version though. so beautiful....did you ever get tidied up?
:iconjezhawk:
erm, yes I did - I'm back at Lins right now and just moved the vast majority of my stuff out of rez - it's a tight squeeze but I think I might be able to fit everything in - I have so much art stuff it's stupid yet I cant get rid of any of it! :giggle:
