birds

When I was going through a rough spot earlier in my journey with the bus, I began drawing birds.  I had been doing a lot of research into animal totems, and various birds would appear to me throughout my days walking around Asheville or exploring the riverbeds at the edges of town.  I was missing Bri bird a lot too, so ultimately the creatures of flight developed into symbols for my mental and emotional states...and I drew them again.  It feels like a series I will be revisiting over and over again for a while as I cycle through more times of tough love for myself and personal growing pains.
