The Cosmic Monster

by The Philosophical Fish

The little demon bird that has shared my space for the past 30 years. He’s a little worse for wear now, heart medications twice daily, has had a few vascular “incidents” over the past two years, and is having feather problems in the past year.

He’s well past life expectation at 34 years old, but he’s like the Energizer bunny in that he keeps on going.

An older photo and a newer photoshop action that I was playing with; a first attempt and not a great one, but it sort of captured him in a way. A little bit of creativity for the little cosmic monster.
