Title: Inspired Typography Art

Type art of animals seems rare to me. I think the reason why is that animals are way different than simple human anatomy. Even more so when your restricted to using only words  associated with a certain mood or phrase. You have to carefully pick which words to use and how to align them into the desired shape on the page. Words like "smart" "Open minded" "creative" have to put sized and placed into the right fitting.

I do have a couple of gripes. First being the upside down lettering of "inspire" and "Do". I understand the need to form a easily recognizable head and upper wing but going against the format of the rest of the wording does hurt to turn one's own head to read. Second, the over use of > for the beak and tail feather for I feel it goes against the idea of an inspiring message made out of entirely inspiring words. Lets face it, it's like cheating here.
