Angry Birds…?

Daily, I read my liberal newsletters and then these drawings happen. I’m searching for a different name for the series; “Angry Birds” is problematic but aptly describes the reaction of most of Creation to the things coming out of Washington, D.C. These ones here are new and drawn on old sheets of notebook paper.

I like the term “Liberty Tree;” it has a patriotic ring and since I come from Boston, I feel I can claim it. Still, to be honest, it’s a bit of a head scratcher from a weedy sidebar of colonial history. I’ll keep up the search as well as my little protest (more Angry Birds by me can be found in a flickr archive).

Angry Birds, continued

This series, an oblique commentary on the current state of things and a place to accommodate my feelings, has slowed a little of late. This is common in any artist’s work that is in a serial manner. The work leads us and demands our attention. Other times, it’s our dedication to the process, showing up and judging lightly and being open to the winter work that anticipates spring of one human consciousness at play. Moral: stay engaged!
