A story that hasn’t been written yet

Image for A story that hasn’t been written yet

During a free practice session in an illustration class at the Academy of Art College, I began a sketch in the corner of my Arches watercolor paper. For some reason, without much planning or re-arranging I produced this image. Fortified with bagels, a potbelly stove and a dwindling stash of firewood, this intrepid seabird seems to be eagerly anticipating his return to the coast. As I often do, I look back and see that there is more work that could have been done. It seems to depict a scene from near the end of an children’s adventure story, something like “A bug’s life” or “Wind in the willows”.
