\"woodcut<\/a>

‘Corvus corax<\/em> (tastes like chicken)’<\/strong> by S.V. Medaris • 22in x 22in • reduction woodcut<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n

There is some fantastic work in this show…. Specifically, ceramic crows by Ryan Myers<\/strong><\/a>, a gorgeous silver point by Robert Schultz<\/strong><\/a>, another beautiful woodcut by Nick Wroblewski<\/strong><\/a>, exquisite paintings by Kelli Hoppmann<\/strong><\/a> and Jonathan Wilde<\/strong><\/a>, and the list goes on…. Check it out tonight at the opening reception (and through Feb 24th). There is a preview of some of the work on Artisan’s Facebook Page<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

This raven above (yes ravens were allowed in the show–yes, I asked before I even started planning this one out) was modeled after some great taxidermied ravens at the UW-Madison Zoology Museum<\/a>. The “tastes like chicken” text in the print? You’ll see that the raven at lower left is snacking on a dead chicken. One of the biggest food sources for ravens is carrion–I see crows more often than vultures out here in the middle of nowhere, on a rural road, working on road-kill. I’m sure if any raccoon or coyote or possum or hawk or owl (…) was insane enough to leave part of a juicy chicken lying about, a raven would finish it up sooner than later. Everybody loves chicken doncha’ know?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
