# Colored Owl Drawings Rabbit Destruction Council by John Pusateri are Photo-Realistic By Meghan Young | Published 2012-11-07 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rabbit-destruction-council References: [thisiscolossal](http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/11/colored-owl-drawings-by-john-pusateri/) & [johnpusateri](http://www.johnpusateri.com/rabbit-destruction-council.html) The images in the Rabbit Destruction Council series are so realistic, people will think that a parliament of owls has literally been snatched from the skies and dyed for artistic purposes. They wouldn't be the first. Artists [Julian Charriere and Julius von Bismarck](http://www.trendhunter.com/trends/julian-charriere-julius-von-bismarck) built a bird trap that automatically airbrushed pigeons different colors. But that isn't the case at all. These owls aren't even real. Instead, the Rabbit Destruction Council series is a set of drawings. Created by John Pusateri, who currently teaches in the Department of Architecture at Unitec New Zealand, the Rabbit Destruction Council art series was created using a combination of pencils, charcoal and pastels. Each image captures an owl's character, from the look in its eyes to the tilt of its head. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 49% | Activity: 45% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Rabbit Destruction Council Drawings:** There is an opportunity for artists and designers to create hyper-realistic drawings that trick the viewer. - **Automated Art Processes:** There is a potential for automating art processes using technology like bird traps to airbrush animals or using drawing robots. - **Hyper-realistic Art:** There is an opportunity to create art that accurately portrays real-life objects or animals, making them hard to distinguish from reality. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers can use these trends to create innovative and realistic pieces for exhibitions and galleries. - **Technology and Robotics:** Technology companies can explore how to integrate automation in the art world by developing robotic arms that can accurately draw or paint. - **Education:** Educational institutions can incorporate these trends in their art curriculums, teaching students hyper-realistic drawing techniques and how to integrate technology in their art processes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Striking Urban Wildlife Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clare-allin.md) - [Stunning Origami Portraits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/origami-portaits.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md) - [Almost-Extinct Animal Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fauna-series.md) - [Modernism Birdhouse Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dwellings-project.md) - [Realistic Sketch-Reflective Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawing-series.md) - [Painterly Chocolate Bunny Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solid-chocolate-bunnies.md) - [Otherworldly Wooden Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wooden-sculptures-1.md) - [Vibrant Bird-Inspired Artful Puzzles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/macar-parrot.md)
