One of the truly enjoyable facets of 2023, has been the appearance of Mr Crawls and his wacky bird portraits. Even better has been the way he has started to switch it up a little bit, with variations on a theme. For a little while at the start, there was a risk that he might get categorised as a one-trick pony, but recent evidence completely indicates otherwise.

This piece at the farm end of the tunnel presents his gull character with horns and spikes emerging from the top of its head. Perhaps most notably, the empty eye sockets define this piece and contribute to the overall intrigue it offers. A little bit chilling and odd, the piece definitely catches the eye, and isn’t quite as endearing as some of his other pieces. This is a good thing, as Mr Crawls develops and grows.
