Sock-stealing bird

[hwango]

Near the end of this entry of Neil Gaiman's online journal, he mentioned that all of his black socks were missing, and that "possibly that some huge, stealthy bird in the attic is building a terrifying nest out of black socks."

I decided to draw the bird in question, though I admit I wasn't up to the challenge of drawing a terrifying nest made of black socks. http://www.deviantart.com/view/11218101/

I apologize to my Exalted players - I could have spent those hours working on the game, but I really wanted to get this finished before it became an even more outdated issue, and being sick for 4 days had already delayed it longer than I would have liked.

Have you contemplated sending that link onwards to Neil Gaiman? I suspect he'd get a kick out of someone illustrating one of his off-hand comments.

Oh, I sent a link to him as soon as it was posted. = ) Hopefully he'll be amused.

I keep misreading that site as deviant tart... Sadly there is no www.devianttart.com. :(

The sock stealing bird looks awesome though. :) Your work is high quality - someone should be buying it off you.

Face it, your obsession with deviant pastry is unique to you - there's not going to be a support website for it any time soon. = )
