80. Mickey Rourke + Canomatic Bird Hotel
atelier ying, nyc.
some initial thoughts...
1. For years in Chinatown there was an arcade with a chicken inside that told fortunes.
2. One of my favorite monster movies, Rodan, really started out with the Japanese name Radon.
3. My reliquarian instincts are constantly circling around the stories about trained pigeons with tiny cameras strapped on their bodies. They were used for reconnaissance during World War I.
4. The now lamentably iconic red "Angry Bird" Is the reason I also offer a "hello" sticker for this outfit.
The Canomatic M70 camera used In this design has a set of perches that the owner can alternately use for his passionate bird hobby. It's not strong enough for a larger bird like an Eclectus or a Cockatoo, But it will amply house a cardinal, which is a protected species over here in the states, which led me to christen this a bird hotel.
The fun of collecting perches provides the following:
1. a Rodan radio tower that rotates
2. a Texas Longhorn adjustable perch, recalling the fact that one of the types of Northern Cardinals hails from that state.
3. a silverplated cigar holder which is attached on when the hotel is vacant or for birdwatching reveries. Birds don't like smoke.
4. a misting device which is simple, effective. The water is adjustable by breath pressure
5. a bubble-making ring that is meant to train birds to avoid flying into dangerous glass.
6. a combination Bird-whistle & monoscope
All of these accessories attach to the hotshoe on the camera.
The bottom base is a simple birdhouse, or when not in use it can house the accessories mentioned above. With all this space this vintage camera is digitized along the lines of my other work. The housing makes all this possible and the profile view looks bird-like. The base would have to be weighted.
This design is dedicated to the great actor Mickey Rourke. I read a story that he has a pet cockatoo.
This would add to his bird family.

P.S: I don't know why every time I work with a Canomatic camera, I end up designing an oblong, rectilinear type of structure, for example please see my design dedicated to PSY (camera design no. 48).
