Drawings are at once the heartbeat, the bones, the musculature, and the spirit of all art. Drawings constitute a unique language for each artist, and the viewer is privileged to glimpse the skeletal elements of the art process first-hand. Drawings are personal: they reveal , they are intended as notes, they are a means to an end, and they represent the embryo of genius...the moment of an artist's truth.

Sorry
It was nine o'clock when the fleet of fearless birds took flight among the foothills of Florence. The apology, signed by the Florentine arms dealer, Fiorentine Forrenzio, had all intentions of reaching its intended recipient -- the Duke of Milan. However, an unsuspecting faction of war-crazed barbarians intercepted this night journey, managing to rid the flock of the lone bird who carried the pithy paper -- the document which would have prevented the Thousand Year's War.

This is cool...there's so much to look at in the larger version. I am completely captivated by the birds' faces and talons, and the catapult is awesome. I feel as if I've beent transported back in time!
Your work is simply amazing. The detail in each piece is stunning.
Can I link you on my blog?
Incredible work! Highly detailed, and very interesting piece of history behind it.
As written before the image is marvellous.
You have a lot of details, there's a lot of emotions and there is a story behind. It's amazing how much emotion, the birds can show.
Beautiful.
