Description

Beep-Beep (Homage to the iconic cartoon) - original artwork from the 'Runaway Houses' series by illustrator and writer Moira Risen.

'Second empire style houses and mansions were very popular everywhere in the US around the late 1800s – some of the most beautiful examples can be seen today around Lafayette Park in the historic Soulard district of St. Louis. I set this one on the sand dunes of the Sonora Desert, with a huge saguaro and a greater roadrunner to pay homage to the iconic cartoon…(Wiley is lying in ambush behind the house, obviously ;))

This image is one of the 12 pieces from my collection titled Runaway Houses. The series portrays imaginary old buildings in different historic architectural styles from all around the world - but instead of their original urban environment they are placed in a natural setting that is typical in the neighborhood of their place of origin.
The series was inspired by one of my favorite books from my childhood, a story of Norwegian writer Tor Age Bringsvaerd about an old house that is rescued by birds from demolition. '

All pieces are available as framed, acrylic and metal print in different sizes.
If ordering on a puzzle you can customize the crop of the print according to your personal taste during the ordering process.
