I have been observing and drawing crows for many years. I am captivated by their graphic nature. I love the blackness of their feathers, the triangles that form their bodies, and the sharpness of their beaks. These images began as very small ink drawings, made with a ruling pen, in a sketchbook. They were scanned, enlarged, and refined digitally. Master Printer James Stroud’s printing added depth and intensity I couldn’t achieve by myself.
