Artist's Comments

Australian Raven as Totem (02)

The Australian Raven is perhaps one of the most distinctive out of the raven family because of its white or white-blue eyes (this trait is shared with other Corvids of Australia.) The Australian raven is actually diminutive in size when compared with other ravens throughout the world. The Australian raven is also sometimes known as a 'Kelly.'

Australian Raven as Totem represents: (this list is not exhaustive)

Complexity. Trickery. Difficulty understanding past or current problems. Over-intellectualising matters. Great intelligence. Ideas. Creating new possibilities. Spiritual work. Problem solving. Creativity. Play. Interaction at all levels. Adapting and learning. Teaching others. Group gatherings.

Hypnotizing :) I like that you describe your pictures so thoroughly, it really adds to the beautiful art.

This is awesome. I had no idea the Australian ravens were so different. I agree that the text adds a great element to your work. Excellent. That sigil on his face is great. It moves the eye through the piece as an effective visual element.

Love your raven! The eyes are very piercing and like they might just see right through one!

A sword without an edge? What's the point?!

I think I'm going to make the text a regular thing. :D
