THE VACVVM: Official Discussion Thread
The piece to me really reads like an Indian style dream catcher. The circular piece looks like an old twist off cover type of mechanism. I don't think the "tail" is that of the bird but of a larger osprey that was caught in a snare trap, the metal piece landing on it's body. Maybe the birds used that red yarn to lift the lid by the handle. When the snare was tripped it landed on the prey. Who knows, It's awesome though.

I get a Native American vibe from it.
I like that flick. Maybe not underrated, but better than it should be.jkw3000 wrote:The image is whatever you want to interpret it to be. For instance, I'm interpreting it as a bad-ass art print for Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole.
Fixed . Also, anyone notice there's a typo (draw-o) on the Suite 1 COA?greenhorn1 wrote:If you just want something cheap there are plenty you can buy here or eBay for cheaper. For a print of this type though this is an extremely reasonable price especially considering that the coa will definitely be a framable piece of art into itself.Muppelope wrote:I'm so very tempted, but I have so very little monies atm. Is this about average price for a Hork? I'm new to the hobby so I'm not really sure if I'll ever get an opportunity as good as this to own one of his pieces.
Is that the tail?! I was trying to figure out the reptilian part, but I think this would be the first owl with a non-normal tail . This guy must be a boss, like the EoD bird. I also wondered what he was sitting on, i.e. real or wholly invented. If we're going with mirror, I feel like that should have some symbolism. Maybe the ospreys are attracted to shiny objects, or their own reflection, so it is part of the trap.Muppelope wrote:Ahhh, okay that makes sense now. Didn't realize that was the bird's tail (which actually makes me like the image better, felt disjointed before I knew that.) What's the deal with the red thread in so many of his images?
Edit: I was told via PM that it was an old, ornate side-view mirror that the bird is perched on, does that sound correct? Also, thanks for the advice cinlabyrinth. Not sure what I'll do yet, but at least I have a couple days to decide.

Had to pick this one up. Too beautiful to pass on for $100.
so that .js thing...on the Snare page it has "inventory_quantity":-348" - does that mean there are 348 bought so far?
