i made it out of wire and aluminum flashing. it could have been better. it was my first time working with wire though, so it was a learning experience. i like the birds, i'm going to make more of them and use them somehow. |

AW JC this is hecka cool, I love the birds/baygulls and the concept.
great job for your first time working with those materials too! LOL did your hands get hella dirty from working with the wires? anyways, if you were ever gonna do this again I'd just suggest that you could make some of the tops of your buildings slant to the left instead? or make waves under the bridge or something  btw, where are you gonna hang that |

Dude, I made a glass fusion piece a while ago and yours reminded me of mine. It was a tile, and I made city buildings in the background with a bubbly taxi in the front, and "I love NY" at the top right, all out of glass. Except yours is better than mine.

yes. graphic design, i guess. i'm about to decide i like working with actual materials a lot better. i just don't know how i'll make a living that way. i like painting, sculpture, all that stuff more than junk on the computer. f**kING HELL

you should make the new birds smaller so that it gives it perspective. Pretty sweet dude. I thought it was a f**king gay ass photoshop image at first. That's what it looks like from the small image. Very nice.
