The idea is to pay one peso to have a bird come out of the colorful cage and pick a card, the card has your fortune; Love, money, health etc. (I always felt bad for the birds)
I love the colors and that you taught us something. Do they do this on the street? This one compliments the other one so well. It looks like the start of a postcard/notecard series...; )
It is funny to me that every time you post something about Mexico.. it reminds me of India. I have never used one of these parrots telling fortunes but in India they have them too... sitting on the market streets.
Hi Felicity, yeah they used to do it at street markets or outside crowded places, I am not sure if this is still going on but it did back in the 80's-90's when i was there, then I left Mexico but it's a really old school kind of gimmick. :) As far as the postcard/note card series, not too sure about it :)
I will try to create something every day for a year, it might be number of things; Photographs, paintings, collages, quick sketches on napkins etc... I will try to make at least one a day to keep my creative side alive and hopefully make it better.
The theme of the sketches, paintings, collages etc… will be somehow associate to the people or situations I encounter every day, making the blog into a small diary depicting meaningful or just interesting (hopefully interesting) images.

That's interesting; I didn't know about the fortune telling birds. I love the colors you used in this drawing.
