New Zealand and Australia Talent Show 57

On a rustic wooden stage bathed in smoke and harsh beams of light, an emu towers over its electric guitar, long neck bent low as it thrashes out raw grunge chords. Feathers bristle in the heat of the spotlight at the unlikely rock star. Painterly detail captures the shimmer of strings, the glow of stage lights, and the wild intensity of the emu’s performance, blending Australasia folklore with whimsical rock-and-roll grit. This artwork is available as a matte print.
