OK, I thought of this poem when I first saw your illo. Don't know if it will help you but it might be a good opening comment/reference that helps convey your concept.



Part of Maya Angelou's poem, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"



"The free bird thinks of another breeze

and the trade winds soft through the sighing trees

and the fat worms waiting on a dawn-bright lawn

and he names the sky his own.



But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams

his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream

his wings are clipped and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing"



So, what's a caged bird to do?



"Good-bye Golden Cage"





Thank You Quister! :D

Makes me think what a terrible thing it is to cage a bird. Very emotive, provocative and beautifully rendered! $5

At last the perfect shirt for my attempted suicide! Like many have said, a simply stunning idea and graphic, very eye-catching and intense, but not really the message i'd like to convey to the world on my chest. 4 from me!
