Crouching Fly, Hidden Tiger

This piece represents the fragility of life, and that there are dangers lurking and waiting to pounce any moment. Not so much that there is something or someone literally out to get you, but more so that, in our society and universe, there are many ways and things that could harm or simply end you, or us, at any given point in time. It contains venus fly traps luring in flies, poisonous snakes blending in with the vegetation, and the tiger in the shadows, waiting for the right moment to pounce on the unsuspecting viewer.

This is a high-quality scan of the original hand-pulled print, re-printed on heavy cardstock, then hand-signed and trimmed ready-to-frame in a standard 11x14 frame. It would be a nice addition to any space in your home.
