For most of the 00’s the creatures of the natural world began appearing in our forward-looking art and music, like prophets,

and while it’s true that the streets are saying things, have the animals been saying things to us too?  And if so, what are we hearing? Broken Crow always has animals in his work on the street, Dennis McNett too.  Are they giving voice to the other inhabitants of the planet, inhabitants far removed from the urban jungle?

Anyway, what brought this to mind again was these two friends we met this weekend.
