Always been a fan of how  Nomax could bring out moods like no other and really happy how amazing this piece turned out.

Bearded vultures are not naturally red, it is a stain of iron heavy mud that gives them their color. It is a sign of strength and vitality that they have the spare energy to find the rare mud to color their feathers. Not all parts of life are happy or easy, depression and loneliness have hit hard for me in the past and always loom in my future. I wanted to show the feathers turning back to the natural white color from letting himself go. A moment of weakness when no one is around and the mask of nothing being wrong is dropped.

Note on the alcohol: As a homebrewer, victim of drunk driving and knowing those effected by alcoholism, I can not say it enough to always drink responsibly. If you ever feel that you 'need' to have a drink to get by your day, seek other help whether it be friends or any other constructive way to relieve stress. If you for some reason have none of those, feel free to send me a note. I can't answer right away but everyone should have someone to talk to.
