I couldn't sleep so got up to browse the internet for art-related info. I came across a drawing by Victor Brauner from the 1942 that incorporated a chicken, a female and a snake or serpent. Maybe you can guess its name from that. Also a friend of mine who keeps chickens had asked me to do something with chickens and that came to mind. I picked up a blue Uni Ball pen and made this sketch. I rather liked it, so here it is. It measures 5.5 by 3 inches on regular bond paper. If Original Jones Art can't sleep, at least he tried to do SOMETHING here in northwest Austin, Texas.

Cool drawing, Charles ... I've heard that creativity heightens when you can't sleep : ) Hope your weekend is good !

Artist Reply: Most of my life I've been a pretty good sleeper, Dave, but always a light one. Easily wakened. Maybe I'll start doing quick sketches in these wakeful intervals. You know, I think that Brauner drawing was in a Chicago-based museum. I hope you visit those when you can. :)

First time I view your character wearing a special cap. Isn't it for flying high? Hope his limbs will eventually turn into excellent wings.

Artist Reply: Yeah, he's going to have a heck of a time getting a comb through it. (wink) He was always a low flyer anyway, Nikolay. Hope all is great with you and yours. :)
