Make Birds Great Again

My fourth illustration for Chris Bird's short story 'The Star that Forgot to Hold onto the Sky'

An extract from the text :

'Words , gleaming , stuck to the bodies and faces of the war statues outside the rail station and in the city parks. The breeze carried fragments of words along railway tracks to other cities spelling out new perspectives , new explanations.
From graveyards and mausoleums light burnt most brightly and the earth crumbled to ash as the dead spoke again.

Steam trains soon left their tracks to cross the sky , thundering between clouds and smoke .

The star and the tree were broken and united .
Together they blurred the edges at the end of the cold night.

Disturbed by the chaotic beauty of the light ravens and crows and other night birds formed black clouds rising , rising into the skyline.'
