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 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 Themes
1. Rabbit Destruction Council Drawings - There is an opportunity for artists and designers to create hyper-realistic drawings that trick the viewer.
2. Automated Art Processes - There is a potential for automating art processes using technology like bird traps to airbrush animals or using drawing robots.
3. 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.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Design - Artists and designers can use these trends to create innovative and realistic pieces for exhibitions and galleries.
2. 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.
3. 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.
