Gerald Rose and Edward Lear III

A lovely illustration of a nest of fledglings, very economical with detail and perfectly capturing those hungry mouths by Gerald Rose, from The Dong with a Luminous Nose and Other Poems by Edward Lear 1969.
As the birds are busying around because of the arrival of spring in the Northern hemisphere, a timely reminder to pop out some nesting materials for them off cuts of wool, ect and give them a hand. Have a great weekend.

Juxta

This was a strange juxtaposition of pins on pinterest some weeks ago. 
I love it when you find these odd combinations of images that work in different ways from how they were originally intended. But then it is the way that you read, misread or interpret visual information that is really important and I do find that misreading it is often even more creatively productive than correctly interpreting it, because though you see your mistake you see the possibility to.

Valeria Petrone II

Valeria Petrone I

I Love these strange ghostly figures hanging in the antlers of this deer, by Valeria Petrone, I like her unique way of layering of characters.
