workin' workin' away

so i'm working on a painting for a gallery show titled "summertime" so i decided because i love brooklyn summer time ever so much i'd do something about bk. but i didn't know what to do until i was waiting at ganni's pizzeria (best pizza in town, i swear) and it was nice and hazy and the sky just looked so beautiful above where the sun was setting juxtaposed with the tops of brownstones and their ornate decorative architecture, and a bunch of pigeons swooped in the sky silouhetted against the burning orange and pink clouds. then i knew it. so that is what i am painting but instead of painting the pigeons, i'm doing intricate cutouts on grey paper. so, here are some of the pigeons i have cut out already!

Kate, this looks badass. I'm getting into stencils also.

thanks ross! although its not a stencil, i actually made the designs from photographs of pigeons and hand cut them out.
