In the style of... Loui Jover

To refine my ideas of silhouettes further, I have looked deeper in to the artist Loui Jover. His primary media is ink but he also uses oils. He prefers to draw on adhered sheets of vintage book paper as the words provide a sort of 'fusion'. Although the words are completely unrelated to the drawings themselves, they still provide a sort of depth and meaning. 
I have created my artist research page on a coffee washed A1 background with collaged pieces of the financial times which has also be stained with tea. This is my interpretation and response to his work. Within the page I have drawn the two birds which I practiced before onto the page. However, instead of drawing them in complete black, I have watered down certain areas in order to allow the words to shine through. This makes the birds look more 3D. It gives them a form, a shape. I like how the robin is perched onto the picture, it really brings the page to life. 
I would perhaps like to take this even further by drawing a different animal or animals on a larger scale! This would perhaps be even more powerful to the eye.
