January 20, 2010. Fowl, he cried. A window full of Guinea fowl were staring at us as we walked past them on 9th Avenue. Don saw them, and suggested I take out the cell camera. I think these birds may be among the funniest cartoon-like creatures I know. My friend Molly and her family raised Guinea hens and I was always amused at their large bodies, tiny heads and running little feet. These smooth little shapes, some solid and some patterned, are perfectly textured and formed to accentuate the oddities of the bird and the repetition of the shape creates an amusing line for the eye.
