Pet Bat Print

About this piece

Archival Print

Emily Martin (The Black Apple) does amazing paintings, and we're excited to have a few of them as prints. She says about this portrait, "There's a nursery/nonsense rhyme that turns up in several of my old children's books (Mother Goose & elsewhere) which goes: Bat, bat, Come under my hat, And I'll give you a slice of bacon; And when I bake I'll give you a cake, If I am not mistaken. I'm not sure if she lured him with bacon, or how exactly they got to know each other, but whatever treats she promised him aside: How nice to have a docile little bat to perch on your hand!" Expertly printed with an 11-ink fade-resitant color process on a smooth, enhanced archival matte paper creating rich blacks and vibrant colors by the Land Gallery in Portland, Oregon. Available in two sizes.
