Is it a bird or a plane?

That's what everyone probably asked when he pulled this thing out of his shed one day. Placed it on that dirt road and started flapping those giant wings. Quite the spectacle, and the amazement when it took off, and flew up into the clouds, almost too high to see. Flapping gracefully he would look out and nod at the other birds, the birds too stunned to know what they just saw. Getting tired, he stopped to rest as he gently glided down to earth, rolling ever so gently to a stop.

Or at least I think that's what he imagined as he stood there flapping these things like an idiot. This thing never took off, its a clumsy design. None of these devices ever worked. And this one is being held together with C clamps. I would be shocked if it was all one piece by the end of the demonstration.

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
