The Hunger Bird, on display at the New Blades exhibition.
One hell of a ride. My first time creating a creature of this size. The plaster mould fell apart, and I was told to quit three times, but here it is. I fixed an unfixable project.
And I reached the goal that I’ve been heading towards for a large part of my education - I brought my imagination to life.
Something I plan to keep doing, and something I hope will inspire and create a sense of wonder in both young and old.
Hopefully a better photo will come soon, the red eyes are an important feature! Stay tuned.
Thank you to Neil Gaiman for inspiring me with your own imagination, I hope it is to your liking!
Isn’t this glorious?
I read Neil Gaiman’s “Ocean at the End of the Lane” this summer, and It completely got me back into reading.
This is my interpretation of one of the “Hunger Birds,” the willfully aggressive, world devouring varmints. When something is out of hand, or out of place, they devour.
They are the Cleaners.
The image of them was so clear to me, that I couldn’t help but try to put it on paper.
I also read that Focus Features will be adapting this story into a film that will be produced by Tom hanks and directed by Joe Wright. I would very much love to be a part of that.
This is so beautiful, and so much like the Hunger Birds inside of my head.
