Newspaper, spraypaint, white-out, marker and acrylic on wood. 2' x 2'

A gift for my friend Jess, painted back in September. Yes, those are bird-related lyrics from "New Slang" by the Shins:

like a gull takes to the wind
i'd a jumped from my tree
and danced like a king

Title comes from the newspaper text.

what a beaut. seriously. the vintage style matches perfect with the indie soul within and the result is really inspired, original and very marvelous.

by the way, that song did change my life, too.

Ooh, groovy. The thing I like best about your use of a bunch of different media is that it gives your pieces such texture. It's faaabulous, dahlink. Also, popcorn clouds = so cute.

I enjoy this piece very much. The varity of colors, the different materials used to make this piece, the words as well as the birds all make this a splendid piece. If you had this for sale, I would purchase it.
