Half-remembered songs

Matt Adrian, The Mincing Mockingbird, paints birds with acrylic on birch panels.

A Cage Called Sodom

 
A Financially Unstable Mess, But at the Liquor Store They Call Me Ma'am


A Plain Story Simply Told, Sprinkled Here and There with Magnificent Blasphemy


A Strong Determination to Get the Best out of Life Is Directly Responsible for This Waking Nightmare


Another Drink Wouldn't Hurt - I Only Live Two Years


Dancing in the Acacias, and Time Looked the Other Way


Daytime Napping Is for Amateurs


Dubstepping to Dad-Rock


Finding the Courage to Endure by Posting Banal Responses to the Banal Posts of Online Friends


Fireside Cowboy Ballads About Those Cool New Slot Machines at the Indian Casino


Had I But Hands to Put About Your Throat


I Cannot Believe I Was Brought back from the Brink of Extinction for THIS


It Had Seemed Such Innocent Pleasure


It Was a Bitter Blow, Delivered with Panache and a Bit More Emotional Violence Than I Am Used to


Overdressed and Underappreciated


Should the Opportunity Arise, I've Made up Some Titillating Tales


The Reluctant Omnivore


The Unsung Magnificence of Half-Remembered Songs


There Are Some That Believe Adultery Is Grounds for Being Unfriended on Facebook


There Is Always Room Within the Tabernacle of Extinction


Twenty-Five Sure-Fire Conversation Killers for Hitchhikers


Unsatisfied with Any Reaction Short of Breathless Amazement


 Wintering in Terra Incognita


« Matt Adrian's lush acrylic paintings of birds range from the delightfully cute to the decidedly sinister. His uniquely soulful, minimalist avian portraits seem to gaze out at the world with the unknowable gaze of wildness.

« Adrian's distinctive titles juxtapose the primal existence of birds with the often awkward folly of modern human existence.

« He has published two books: It Is Folly to Assume My Awesome Lies Dormant: The Paintings of the Mincing Mockingbird and The Mincing Mockingbird Guide to Troubled Birds.

« Matt Adrian [The Mincing Mockingbird] lives in California with his wife, artist Kim Bagwill [The Frantic Meerkat].»
