This piece is a Trompe L'Oeil (pronounced "Tromp Loy"), which is a French term meaning to fool the eye. The background boards, binoculars, and chickadee were drawn in charcoal pencil. The label and pamphlet were drawn in permanent ink, and the journal pages were drawn in graphite. The bird-related quotes on the journal page are from famous naturalists. The name on the binoculars is a tribute to the naturalist Aldo Leopold.
The prints are made by the artist here in Missoula, Montana on acid-free fine art matte paper in three sizes and are also available as notecards.
