ORIGIN: It’s a family tree. Grandfather was a pathfinder. He was born a mouse and died a bat. Nobody knows where he got his inspiration from, but we got ours from a crab. When my grandfather was still alive, I saw myself growing into an eight-legged creature. I wanted to catch all the drops of […]

ORIGIN: It was late at night and for a change we saw a handful of stars. That might have altered the destiny of this Brush. The little girl stole the limelight, and it would have taken a magnifying glass to appreciate the little details, so we decided to let the fox and the horse strike

ORIGIN: No matter how you look at it, that’s an angel. A lump in the throat of an hourglass. We are running out of time. Guardian angels only have eyes for children, adults are on their own. The owl says that death is still a ways away. That owl is my birthplace. But I didn’t

ORIGIN: Some people cut apples horizontally to find stars. We cut them vertically to find owls because silence isn’t our thing. The owl of my heart has taken wing. That’s my treasure right there. That pillow. Those feathers. My line in the sand. Sweet dreams. Sweet dreams. Sweet dreams. Stop right there. A feather-soft whisper
ORIGINS: This was us walking down memory lane once again. The fifth character in the original series is dead. His arms are crossed over his chest. He is ready to be buried, but his necktie caught our eyes. It could have easily passed for the beak of an owl, making his hands the owl’s ear
THE OWL IN THE FUNERAL SUIT. Read More »
ORIGINS: This one is a bit of a stretch. What caught our attention was the hair of the third character in the original series. We saw the first hint of what would later become a husky dragging an owl across the snow. And we decided to add a german shepherd because why not? By the
