Pet Bat

Emily Winfield Martin is a #1 New York Times best-selling author and illustrator and we’ve had the pleasure of working with her for her entire career.

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 multiple sizes.

The 8" x 10" and 11" x 14" prints are produced borderless. All larger sizes include a minimum 2" border.
