Description I think everybody has experienced at least once in their life someone telling them the famous phrase "a little bird told me..." (in italian is "me l'ha detto un uccellino")
when we were children and our parents didnt want to reveal their tricks to find out our secrets and desires...

personally I always wondered what the hell was this little bird spying on me and going around telling the world my secrets... (maybe I was a very stupid little girl) ... so here it is, a more cynical version of that little indiscrete creature, that just spreads the word around without caring about who might hear it. VERBA VOLANT

btw, charcoal on paper, as you can see from the mess on the paper (hate charcoal)

i love the whole concept that lead to this design, a ingeniously dark twist on the "little bird" adage.
this is so perfectly rendered and a truly imaginative piece. you are an amazing talent!

I was very inspired at the time! yes... ehehe, I just thought it would have been perfect... just a big eye with a mouth.. and of course no brains!

the genuine essence of rumour and gossip!

you got a blowup doll? or more than one???? wow... i think Frank's got a problem with rubber things... I guess he was raised by a family of used condoms when he first started living in the trash. so it would be kind of an incest for him...

LordAltros In reply to SibylWhite [2008-12-14 07:02:02 +0000 UTC]

SibylWhite In reply to LordAltros [2008-12-14 06:55:13 +0000 UTC]

I bet he was... so at least now he can quit swallowing thermometers to get the mercury protect the inside of his stomach from the acids.

the local hospital nurses were quite pissed off with him farting around in the corridors...jeez.

LordAltros In reply to SibylWhite [2008-12-14 06:59:01 +0000 UTC]

ya he's a real disgusting guy.
one time he shuved his hand down a sewage pipe and then liked his fingers.
later on he started to choke in his own vomit. if i wasn't there then he would have died in a very humiliating way. well it wuld have been only fiting.

the mask you hide your current multiple personality's face behind... you mean that's really your face? you're like some kind of monster? oh jeez... I felt it was too much to meet a funny talented guy with a HUGE love for big girls... who was also average looking. pity.
