Bird Brain

So, here are pics of ink drawn birdcages, but smaller (like 22 x 33"). These are on really beautiful, creamy strathmore paper.

Available Birdcages

I've gotten lots of inquisitive emails in regards to the birdcages I have available. Here are some pics of the big ones. I also made some smaller ones for the LadyBoy shoe opening. I'll put pics of those up here, too.

Chinois Birdcage

Double Birdcages

XXX Birdcage

Swirling Line Birdcage

Lux Birdcage

Music Box Birdcage

These are 4-6 feet tall and 3-5 feet wide...so you gotta have some major wall space to handle one. Especially when you get it framed!

Los Angeles is in the grip of a particularly chic strain of avian fever. Symptoms first appeared at Wren’s Fall 2008 collection preview, where models stood before grand yet delicate birdcage sketches. These same birdcages soon spread to the walls of Larchmont boutique Lux and Ladyboy Shoes’ Echo Park launch party. Their source? Amy Jo Diaz, art director, illustrator, photographer, and stylist extraordinaire. “I think people can relate to them in a lot of ways. They’re bizarrely romantic, a beautiful, ornate mask for the bird’s lack of freedom,” she says. “I love the hand-drawn yet powerful feel of Amy Jo’s work. There’s something about it that reminds me of Edward Gorey,” says Wren’s Melissa Coker. With a multitude of high-profile collaborations in the works, including artwork for upcoming film “The Soloist” and costume design for L.A. band Hecuba, we suspect Diaz’s graceful creations are about to become even more widespread.

Birdcage mention in Elle...

Highlighted in pink. The picture at the bottom right says, 'Coker and Diaz', but that's a misprint. It's really Coker and Raza.
