Butterfly Knight by James Christensen, available from Snow Goose Gallery.

 

You’ve probably heard the phrase ‘excessive force’—well this knight is the embodiment of excessive preparation,” says artist James C. Christensen. "He has armored himself to the point of immobility, and his quarry will almost certainly evade him.”

 

Fans of the artist will recognize many of his signature traits, however iron-clad, including the floating fish, the charming yet self-important little man, and the hilarious detailed flourishes to the costumes right down to the bell lashed to the bird’s leg. Are those chicken feet? Say, those tail feathers look a bit suspicious… Don’t miss the opportunity to hang this delightful warrior in your home.
