Illustration Friday: Chicken

"Chicken (n): a domestic fowl." I can't think of anything more domestic than tea, can you?

And here are a few more chickens from the past:



And if you can't get enough of chickens, then I highly recommend Beatrice Rodriguez's Chicken Thief. It's a charming little book that quickly became one of my favorites last year.

  11. That top image is my fave. Their expression and closeness suggests a friendly relationship, but there's something... dare I say sordid?... about how they're staring into each other's eyes... Maybe I watch too many soap operas!

  13. Christina, well I was trying to suggest listening intently...but if you want to imagine a more lustful scene, feel free! LOL!

    And thanks for the feedback, everyone. The top picture is my most recent piece. The jumping chick is the oldest, followed by the rooster, then the kitchen hen. The fact that the top and bottom have been the favorites confirms I'm heading in the right direction! :)
