Striking Bird Drawings by Brazilian Street Artist



Sometimes street artist creates lovely images beyond the thoughts, similar Brazilian artist Luis Seven Martins Aka L7m, continues to produce amazing illustrations that blur the lines between abstraction and nature. Rather than taking to the streets, this time L7m turned his spray paint and acrylics to a number of canvases. His animated collection features stunning bird forms that develop from a stunningly chaotic background. It's as if the creatures are serenely emerging from the energetic confusion of his blended brush strokes. Luis actually uses a diversity of techniques to produce circular swirls of bold colors that are juxtaposed with the realistic birds. His signature style adds motion to every piece and creates a sense of disorder that emanates from the composition. Through his work, L7m attempts to make "contradictions and scratchy feelings in the observers" by exploring thoughts of nature and attractiveness mixed with the chaos of our urban environment.









Beautiful Bowerbirds Design

Turkeys strut, peacocks preen, and bower-birds design. Of all the strange things that male birds do to attract a mate, the bower-bird's ritual is the only one that could make it into the MOMA. They use two different types of architecture and have a keen eye for color as well.































The Beautiful Leaden Flycatcher


The beautiful Leaden Flycatcher is a species of passerine bird in the family Monarchidae. The birds specs around 6 inches in length, while the male is a shiny lead-grey with white under parts, while the female has grey upper parts and a rufous throat and breast. You can find this bird in eastern and northern Australia, Papua New Guinea & Indonesia. Its natural habitat is subtropical or tropical mangrove forests in the northern parts of its range, in the south and inland it is eucalypt woodland. Its specific name, rubecula, comes from the Latin for Robin, and in Sydney it is called Frogbird derived from its guttural call.  John Gould described and named the Pretty Flycatcher in 1848, which has since been subsumed into this species. Leaden Flycatcher is very active and agile bird; it hops among branches and catches insects in flight. Normally bird breeding seasons is September to February. The Leaden Flycatcher is found in tall and medium open forests, mostly in coastal areas, selecting drier habitats than the Satin Flycatcher. The Leaden Flycatcher feeds on insects caught while on the wing or gleaned from foliage and feed in the mid-canopy, darting from tree to tree in pairs or unaccompanied, perching only temporarily on exposed twigs where they call and fan their short crests.








Artist experiments with colorful tinted paints & water to create beautifully abstract, hypnotizing formations.



Artist Kim Keever who belongs to New York, experiments with colourful tinted paints and water to create stunning abstract hypnotizing formations. Keever was former thermal engineer for NASA project tends to veer his work towards the scientific and experimental. To create this specific style, the gifted artist drops several amounts of color into water and documents the swirling liquids as they blend and mingle. Keever uses a huge 200-gallon fish tank as the setting for much of his effort, which offers sufficiently of space for the extremely unpredictable reactions to emerge. Staring at the enthralling photographs is a related experience to pointing out shapes between the clouds. Within the blobs, swirls, and trickles of color, spectators might instigate to imagine recognizable forms like fabric or faces, and specific of the swirls almost solid enough to touch.
