Artist's Comments

Victor and I were reading about Tesla one night, because we're cool like that.

Apparently, he had a white pigeon he loved, as he said in his own words, "as a man loves a woman."

One day, while sitting at his desk, the pigeon flew in through his open window as it usually did, and landed on Tesla's desk. At that moment, Tesla knew his beloved pigeon was dying. He said that bright light shone out from her eyes, and she died in his arms. At that moment, according to Tesla himself, his life's work was ended.

Bizarre. Obviously, I then had to draw it, duh.

This is my final for drawing class, since we could do anything we wanted to.

1.5 feet by 1.5, ink, marker, acrylic and more ink.

I'm upset rasputina still hasn't made a song about him. I am currently discussing Tesla with Jordan, as I feel he should know that Tesla is my real boyfriend and comes first.

This looks amazing. And yeah, you do like the color yellow, don't you?

One, very true, I feel he should be up there with the donner party and howard hughes, 2, damn right he's gotta know, and three, yeah...I dunno why, I just...really love yellow. A good, dark, decay-y, moldy yellow. Ever since I read "The Yellow Wallpaper," I've just been like, "aha! The TRUE color of death is yellow! How amazing!" There, now I've ruined yellow for most people reading this.

Also, since I've been saying yellow in my head so often the past ten seconds, now it doesn't sound like a word.
The yellow wallpaper!! Omg, that story scared the crap out of me!

I'm going to read it to my children before bed.

I get to die for not knowing who Tesla is.

*stab*

Ok. Now that that's over with...

We all love the pigeon with laser vision.

On to the serious part! I like that everything is pigmented with that olive-yellow, even the whites. And Tesla's humpy hair is fantastic.
Don't feel too bad, it took The Prestige to even make me wonder who he was. Thanks, David Bowie.

Who DOESN'T secretly want laser pigeons?
