Squirrel Eating a Piece of Pizza — Metal Print + Pillow

A squirrel calmly savoring an unexpected snack, in a sepia ink-wash treatment. From the Initial Walks gallery — here with a sleeker, more contemporary finish on metal.

And it doesn't come alone: every metal print ships with a matching throw pillow ($52 value), made from the same image, for the same room. Two pieces of the reveal, solved in one order — no separate purchase necessary.

Original, never licensed, never stock. This piece has never been sold under any stock license — no client will ever recognize it from a hotel lobby or another firm's portfolio.

The story behind the work

I've always loved photography. When I was younger, I picked up a Nikon D300 — a camera honestly reviewed as a professional's reliable backup body — because I wanted to capture real quality, not just snapshots. As I got older, I spent more and more time photographing nature, learning to see the kind of light and detail most people walk past without noticing.

Then I had an idea: what if I could take those photographs further, turning them into something more soothing than the photo alone? It took real time to find the right tools and build a process that actually captured the feeling I was after, not just a filter slapped over a picture. Once I had that process working reliably, I realized what I had: a way to give people real calm for their walls — not just a picture of nature, but a piece that quietly changes how a room feels.

Pieces from the Natural Desygns catalogue have been selected and exhibited by a gallery in the Mid-Atlantic region — chosen on their own merit, not commissioned or paid placement.

What's included

• Your metal print, produced fresh to order with a glossy contemporary finish
• Matching throw pillow ($52 value) — same image, made for the same room, shipped with your order
• Client Presentation File ($20 value) — a clean, screen-resolution digital copy for mood boards and client decks, delivered automatically
• Originality Confirmation — written confirmation this piece has never been sold under any stock license

Delivery

Based on my distributor's standard production and shipping estimates, the full print-and-pillow set typically arrives within the continental U.S. in 9–11 days. If you're styling toward a reveal date, that's likely more runway than you think — but it's not infinite. Original art still on time only works if there's still time.

The Defect-Free Guarantee

Every piece is produced fresh, to order, and checked before it ships. If anything arrives with a printing defect or shipping damage, I'll replace it, free, no argument. Just send a photo of the issue within 30 days of delivery, and a corrected piece goes back into production immediately.

This is a craftsmanship guarantee, not a change-of-mind return — because every piece is made specifically for you, not pulled from a shelf. If it's flawed, it's on me to fix. What arrives is exactly what you ordered, made right.
