The Significant Otter doesn't like me bringing dead birds home... but she had to admire this one ... That's Otters for you. She actually found a dead Otter once. Which is a bit of a coincidence. But ... There's a lot to be learned from dead birds. For a start, some of them have rings on. And you can put into practice all that stuff you have, or haven't, learned about feather tracts. Plus ... dead things tend not to fly off. I drew that one from underneath as well ... I've no idea why... Why I just drew the head and the leg I don't know either ... the scaly legs are lovely to draw though ... you can see the little patches of blood ... I've put this one on here somewhere before.... I've got quite a few of that sort of thing but I can't find them. The Significant Otter is a keen thrower-out of things. Hmmmmm. I wonder .... If/when I do find more, I'll put them on here .... Maybe you should give it a go. And on a topical note, here's Welsh band Threatmantics with "Wedi Marw" .. a slice of everyday Welsh life complete with lots of dead things .... ..and here's another jolly bit of "wedi marw" .... from She's Got Spies .... " Dwi wedi marw" ... I'm dead! I've just remembered ... I've drawn various skulls ....what do you reckon that was ... and, er, snails ... ... flowers aren't dead, but they don't run/fly away either.
