Pigeon Brain Sent by lizzeedee on July 23, 2008: i get that this is art and all, but i have a pet pigeon, and about screamed when i saw this. to me, it’s as if i say i don’t particularly care for babies, and found one gutted somewhere, took a picture of it, and put it on etsy, with no warning to the general public. is there any way you could put a ‘mature’ or something across it, so that other pigeon lovers like myself aren’t so unpleasantly shocked? i would appreciate it, and i’m sure they would too. thanks in advance. lizz [trooper's mom]
I responded very simply; Life is shocking. Life is mature. I don’t believe that this is a mature image in any way, shape or form.
I’m contemplating using her words, unattributed as an endorsement in the description of the piece. “To me, it’s as if … i don’t particularly care for babies, and found one gutted somewhere, took a picture of it, and put it on etsy” - Liz Pigeon lovers. Honestly. Oh, the image at the top of this post holds a link to the piece on Etsy should you wish to be SHOCKED or OFFENDED by the world around you.
