The sweet, playful smile of the squirrel invites a warm and calm feeling that is quickly subverted once the intense and menacing cougar eyes come into focus. Waiting. I love the artist’s intensity mixed with playfulness in his storytelling that comes through in narration and skillful engraving techniques.

Jim Westergard's charming wood engravings often feature animals in comedic situations, using plays on words and topical humor. This hilariously irreverent print truly needs no explanation and seems especially appropriate in light of all the latest indictment news.
