INSIDE THE ARTWORK
“Walks On Tiptoes” made the whole animal feel different to me.

Lettering detail from White-Tailed Deer.
The White-Tailed Deer gave me a beautiful mix of quiet words and surprising facts.
Big Brown Eyes. Gentle. Graceful. Peace. Quiet Step. Watchful.
Then I had Bucks Shed Antlers Yearly, Eats Over 500 Plant Species, Excellent Jumper and Walks On Tiptoes.
I used 96 different words and phrases and spent 21 hours drawing them into the finished deer.
I like the idea that someone can recognize the feeling of seeing a deer before they read anything.
Then one phrase gives them a reason to look at that familiar animal differently.
