Junk Food Joe


 Acrylic  5x7 on Cradled Board   SOLD

Maybe you see a sloppy crow with his feathers a tatter, but the kids in the neighborhood love him as Junk Food Joe the Crow. He hangs out in the park waiting for a bit of ice cream cone, or a hot dog. His diet is not the best, but his heart is open and bold. He says bugs in fact do not taste like chicken. He delights the children with his low flights over their head to attract their attention. They happily share their snacks for a chance to be near him, and watch his silly antics. He likes to tease the dogs in a good natured way. But mostly he considers himself a teacher. He shows that his species is not a dark entity associated with scary witches at Halloween, but a fun loving comrade with a vice for pizza, more like his human friends than the myth of the bird.
