Misunderstood

— Archival Quality Giclee art print
— smooth 100% white cotton rag

I remember in grade school, making that typical kid mistake of thinking the opossum began with the letter ‘p’. I didn’t give them much thought then, but now, opossums are one of my most favorite wild creatures. If you can get over their scaly tails and hairless hands (which I can – my favorite pet growing up was my rat friend, Freckles), they are pretty dang cute. While they suffer a bad rap from whoever makes up creature stereotypes as gross, dirty pests that you sometimes find stuck in your trashcan, they are actually amazing.

Here are four facts to win you over to the opossum fan group: Opossums decimate tick populations by groom constantly, eating ticks they find. They also eat baby venomous snakes, as they are immune to most snake venom. They almost never get rabies, thanks to their low body temperature,⁣ and have a really good memory, testing better than rats, cats, dogs, and pigs⁣. So the next time you have a little opossum cutie running around in your yard, send them a little mental gratitude for all the good they do. ⁣

About the Print
My open edition giclee art prints are masterfully printed on 100% cotton rag with pigment-based inks for archival quality — that’s 200 years of beauty. Each one is printed and cut to order. Due to this, your new print may take two to three weeks to produce and ship. For international shipping, please read the FAQ carefully for best practices and order processing times.

The 8″x10″ art print comes with a 1/4 inch white border. Borders are helpful when matting and framing are in your art print’s future (which I highly recommend for optimal enjoyment and protection). The 4″x6″ print size is borderless, meaning the print goes from edge-to-edge.

The

Fauna Collection

These prints are sourced from my beautiful collection of 4×6″ charcoal pencil and linoprint originals titled the Fauna Collection. Created together in October 2020, they are a meditation on the diversity of wildlife found in our back yards. Many of the creatures featured are characters in my own life story. Now it’s time for them to have a place in your home.
