His small-scale animal sculptures, such as the present work, were modeled with the same spirit of animation and dynamism as his mythological human forms. โIn Manshipโs work nature is neither tamely imitated nor distorted. It is simplified and organized by the artist for a specific symbolic and sculptural purpose,โ explains scholar Edwin Murtha (Edwin Murtha, Paul Manship, New York, 1957, p. 16). The artistโs bird sculptures are celebrated for their individuality. Despite their small stature, they possess a remarkable degree of detail, right down to their foundry marks which reside along the narrow edge of their respective bronze bases. Manshipโs birds were cast in Munich at the German foundry of Priessmann Bauer & Co. in 1932. Although the exact edition size is not known, each bird was cast in a small run. Other casts of King Penguin, Flamingo, and King Pelican reside in the Smithsonian American Art Museumโs permanent collection.โ

โThis zenzai-flavored shake features the delightfully crunchy texture of brown rice flakes, and the beckoning cat and red and white shiratama make for a truly auspicious drink.โ
I should not have had this but I wanted the lucky cat.

A New Year greeting card from lilyPRO featuring a black chess knight entwined with pink lily flowers. The text reads "WISHING YOU ALL THE BEST MOVES IN 2026," with "BEST MOVES" in vibrant hot pink and "2026" rendered as 3D gold balloons. The chess piece sits on a reflective surface that merges a chessboard pattern with digital audio equalizer bars.
Happy New Year!! ๐ฅณ

I like how my kids decorated with the glass crayons.
Once I was directing a fundraiser and the best act was last, but the whole event ran overtime and her performance got cutโฆthat was a horrible lesson for me.
We should really put the best act at about 1/4 of the way through an event. ๐ค
Youโre supposed to go here before big events. ๐ซฐ
