About Butterfly Effervescence
Five brightly colored butterflies, each suspended inside its own rising bubble, ascend from a splash of blue and green color at the base of Butterfly Effervescence, giving the piece the literal, champagne-like effervescence of its title. As with all of Godard's limited editions, the piece rewards close viewing: he is known for tucking hidden names, dates, and initials into his compositions.
Released in 2024, it appeals to collectors of safari themed decor and nature and wildlife wall art, part of the nature side of Godard's catalog. If you are ready to start or grow a collection, browse the full range of Michael Godard art for sale.

Butterflies across Godard's nature catalog
Butterfly Effervescence is Godard's newest butterfly composition, joining earlier pieces like Butterfly Dreams and the Black and White Flower series as part of an expanding nature side of his catalog. Where those earlier works kept the palette relatively restrained, this 2024 release brings back his full saturated color range, applied here to insects and bubbles instead of his usual olives and grapes.
About Michael Godard
From draftsman and drummer to "Rockstar of the Art World"
Born in 1963 and later based in Las Vegas, Godard studied at ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena and at UNLV, and spent years working as a draftsman and commercial illustrator, and drumming in Las Vegas bands, before painting full time. The turning point was a friend's request for a birthday painting about dirty martinis: he answered with personified, animated olive characters full of attitude, and that became the visual language behind the nickname collectors know him by, the "Rockstar of the Art World."
The signature style
His pop art is instantly recognizable, personified olives, grapes, and other characters set against high-contrast backgrounds, rendered with theatrical exaggeration and a satirist's sense of timing. This newer release shows that same confident color sense carried into an entirely different subject.
Beyond the canvas, and giving back
His book Don't Drink and Draw, with a foreword by friend and collector Ozzy Osbourne, was named an Art Book of the Year in 2006. Since 2006, following the loss of his daughter Paige to brain cancer at 16, the artist has maintained an ongoing charitable relationship with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and related causes.
