Ever seen the movie 'Bright Lights Big City' (1988) with legendary actor Michael J. Fox? It's about this disillusioned young writer living in New York City. Who turns to drugs and drinking to block out the memories of his dead mother and estranged wife.
This illustration has nothing to do with drugs or drinking. Nor did I deliberately try to block out something. It's actually the opposite and it happens to me automatically.
But it struck me that the main character in the illustration, the guy in the middle with the helmet on, is like people on the streets in a big city. While travelling to and from work or home, with all the bright lights and distractions, they are all living (birds house) in their heads. Thinking but not feeling. Not really present. Blocking and protecting (the helmet) themselves from influences outside their person. With only a few sensors (the security cameras) active.
That concept had enough 'hooks' to come up with all sorts of funny and strange extra elements.
The illustration is available in four color ways.
