There was a time, not so long ago, when Mr Crawls could be identified easily because all of his pieces featured quirky birds.

This quick one on the swimming pool building wall, behind the hedge, is a case in point. The green monster, looking a little bit like a hard-hat, is blessed with enormous eyes and an array of razor-sharp teeth. The eyes have no pupils, giving it a bit of edge. Pupils in eyes always soften a character and conversely their absence creates a hollow, even sinister appearance. This is a nice solo piece from the imaginative Mr Crawls
