What does a pigeon sound like to me? 😂

For this piece, I translated the sound of a New York pigeon into visual form. It was actually a suggestion from one of you when I asked for ideas for my Sounds of Nature series, and I couldn’t resist.

I’ve painted raindrops, cardinals, katydids, and crickets, but this one hits differently. The sound pattern came out raw, rhythmic, and a little chaotic — pretty much sums up NYC. It even feels like a tiny tribute to home since I grew up there.

The ink gave it this organic, fluid effect that almost vibrates on paper.
