New Print: Lots of Crows

Lots of Crows illustration by Troy DeShano

My favorite suggestion to yesterday’s query “what should I draw today?” was Kelly’s “lots of crows.”

I got quite a few ideas from folks on Facebook and Twitter… including several who suggested a “May 21 Rapture” theme.. and some concepts that were so specific I couldn’t help but think “why don’t you just make that yourself?” Check out a few from the list:

  • Avett Brothers “Murder in the City”
  • A Wiener Dog
  • Mother Theresa
  • Tribute to the late Macho Man Randy Savage
  • A little girl smelling a flower and from the flower comes out a rainbow that ends in the mountains (almost did this b/c it was just so weird)
  • “Honest Abe” Lincoln with a halo
  • What you see when you hear Shostakovich, Symphony No. 5
  • Memories from Saved by the Bell (I’m sure I’ll do this eventually)
  • Cheeseburgers
  • a bird that learned it can fly underwater and the discovery it made
  • a spiral coming undone
  • a man turning into a city
  • a fish
  • leather pants

I loved the design so much that I’ve decided to make it available in the shop. Only 11 will be printed—the first of which will go to Kelly for making such a great suggestion.

Congrats Kelly!

You can get this in the shop now for a few bucks (and it’s a 5×7 so finding a cheap frame will be easy for you.)
