The Pelican Brief (Signed) Sculpture

If you love books and animals, you’ll want to add to your bookshelf or table top collection an artwork from this Animal Tales series. In the ANIMAL TALES series, I create hand drawn, kiln-fired paintings on glass of animals and attach them to manipulated books; the titles of which are specifically chosen to the animal either in personality or in subject matter. In John Grisham's book, The Pelican Brief, a law student writes a paper hypothesizing that a certain businessman had two supreme court justices killed so that he could drill for oil on a piece of swamp containing an endangered species of pelican. This paper ends up being called "The Pelican Brief". It is central to the plot of the book. "Pelican" doesn't have a special meaning here; it just refers to the birds. In 2009 the Brown Pelican was taken off the "Endangered Species"list but it will remain on the Threatened list as long as global warming and chemicals /oil in our water remain. The Animal Tales Series of artworks are considered "Book Art/sculpture" in which books are transformed into three dimensional artworks which often include hand painted glass and other materials. SHIPPING NOTE: This piece will be shipped in a Double Box arrangement {BOX INSIDE OF A BOX} in which the inside box holds the bubble-wrapped artwork securely inside and the outside box is double or triple walled with biodegradable (bagged)foam peanuts securely surrounding the inside box. This method is very protective for the Artwork and saves on the cost of shipping a crate. HOWEVER, if the customer requests a crate be used, the shipping weight/cost to the collector will increase from 7.5 to 24 lbs.
