Prophetic Goldfinches


With his signature scrollwork filigree & Fleur-di-li pinstriping swirlies Ty Meier depicts goldfinches laying down some wisdom: "The past is gone. The future is not here yet. All you have is this instant. How's your instant going? Not wasting it, are you? Are You?". Ty experiments with three styles here: The pointillism background, the Posca-Pen and fine-liner brush illustrated midground (The tree, raccoon, and birdies) and a thick, almost sculpted ram skull shaded with washes. The result is both lighthearted at the beginning and haunted at the end. This is a Memento Mori, a philosophy accelerator, reminding you to do important things, now.
