Painted a bird -- a raven -- innocently perching and nothing more.
Certainly not talking. Certainly not squwaking.
Your face horror darkens as if you've seen this all before.
"It's just a bird, black as night, although it's purple in this light."
"Gastly creature! N-n-never!" you implore.
 
The original work was created with acrylic paint and metallic ink. Also available as a sticker.
