A Book of...: Indian Ink

I've grown to enjoy creating line work with matchsticks after discovering it in Visual Language. The lines, although a bit heavy for my liking, have an unkempt feel to them which works well within the context of pigeons.

However my favourite images of the day are the latter pages of matchstick use. I began to ask myself why I should create a pigeon book full of grey, dull illustrations. So I coloured the illustrations in a more vivid range, again turning to watercolour. Whist looking more visually appealing, the down point to this was that my pigeons ended up looking like tropical birds from the Amazon.
