Beautiful Ink Drawings Of Pigeons By Gawie Joubert

 

Many people think of pigeons as pests or nuisances, but Gawie Joubert's gorgeous ink drawings might make you think differently. His stunningly detailed black and white illustrations of pigeons will let you see them in a whole new light, as the intelligent and interesting creatures that they are. We love the strong use of black and white here, and the strategically placed ink blots. In reference to his series on pigeons, Joubert wrote…

''Menagerie is a series of ink illustrations of pigeons. Pigeons are usually seen as sickly and dirty creatures and I wanted to portray them as beautiful birds trapped in our urban jungle.''
