The Giraffe - Word Mosaic Art Print

Word Mosaic Art Print by Curtis Epperson

A CLOSER LOOK AT THE ARTWORK

Tall enough to stand out. Gentle enough to stay with you.

A giraffe already looks as though nature decided to stretch the rules.

Then Curtis’s word list makes the animal even harder not to love.

Gentle Giant. Soft Eyes. Tallest Land Animal. Each Spot Pattern Is Unique.

Calves Can Walk Within One Hour After Being Born.

And apparently there is very little time for sleeping:

Sleep Less Than 2 Hours Per Day. Take Short Naps.

Curtis used 93 different words and phrases and spent 19 hours drawing them into the long neck, soft expression and patterned coat.

You notice the height first.

Up close, every spot has something to say.

INSIDE THE ARTWORK

The facts somehow made this animal even more endearing.

Lettering detail from Giraffe.

There were a few phrases in this Giraffe that immediately stood out to me.

Gentle Giant. Soft Eyes. Each Spot Pattern Is Unique.

Then there are the facts you probably do not expect, like Calves Can Walk Within One Hour After Being Born and Sleep Less Than 2 Hours Per Day.

I used 93 different words and phrases and spent 19 hours fitting them into the finished animal.

I enjoy when the words add something beyond the portrait.

You can admire the giraffe from a distance.

Then you move closer and start learning who you have been looking at.
