American Crow

Sketch

I sketched an American Crow caught in a rain shower, based on a photo I found on the web.

Apparently, American Crows are slightly different from their European cousins. They are very similar in size, structure, and behavior, but their calls and visual appearance differ.

Drawn using an Apple Pencil Pro, iPad, and the Procreate app. I kept things simple, working with primarily HB, 6B, and charcoal pencils/brushes.

Low light and shadows

It's starting to get a bit chilly, and I can see the first signs of autumn in the trees.

A soft, green glow

During the summer months, I tend to be an early bird.

The Elephants, a photo-montage

'The Elephants' a photo-montage was created using Affinity Photo and is a composite of six separate photographs.

Another Covid Nightmare

I am inside an Italian hotel bar, I am alone. The room is long and narrow, it has a minimal brutalist style with smooth grey concrete walls.

The Warehouse: an anxiety nightmare?

I am inside a vast, cavernous, brightly lit warehouse, I am standing on-top of a large wooden box. The box I stand on is stacked upon other boxes.

Firehound, an old-fashioned, personal blog

The blog is updated when inspiration strikes; sometimes the entries are just thoughts, vague recollections, and those persistent nagging memories that need to be recorded.

Other entries are purely observational, these document those fleeting moments that can take place on no particular day for no particular reason; they are the kind of moments that if not recorded will go unnoticed, forgotten and eventually lost.

Recently, posts have included photographs and digital photo-montage.

Unless otherwise stated, any accompanying blog photo's have been taken by the author.
