Illustration of a carrion crow wearing over-ear headphones and with a blue travel pillow over its neck. It is towing a blue wheeled suitcase from under its wing. Caption reads 'carry-on crow' in blue handwriting. A small signature reads 'Elliestrations' with a small drawing of an elephant.

Late to the party, but starting as I mean to go on with a new illustration. The carry-on crow is often seen power-walking to a departure gate, and never forgets their trusty travel pillow.
