Birdness

Just drawing tonight as I waited for some images and stories at work... cheap lined paper (reporter's notebook) and an ink pen. Do materials, or context, or presentation enrich or cheapen art? Is a work more valuable if it's painted on archival quality linen or spray-painted on a concrete underpass?
My inner and outer worlds are colliding (again): Bird images and wings make sense to me – my dead hawk in the back yard; doves chickadees and blackbirds on the feeder out front; white doves loosed at Virginia Tech in memory of the shooting victims; darkness fleeing the light.
