Original Pen + Ink Sketch"I'm a big fan of tanks. The idea came to me one day that the beak and head of a bird could work as a tank turret. The title of this piece "NVA Flightless Bird" is the combination of a North Vietnamese army tank turret and an ostrich. The North Vietnamese army was referred to as the NVA during the war. The turret is from a soviet T-54 tank, the Russians supplied North Vietnam with weapons during the Vietnam war, and the ostrich is known as a flightless bird. Everyone needs and image of an ostrich with a T-54 tank turret head flying a North Vietnam flag rocking Nike high heels wading through the wreckage of American tanks hanging above their mantle." - Derek Hess
