About Find Love When Not Looking
Godard explains the idea in his own words: "If one thing is true in life, it's that love will find you. You can exhaust yourself by endlessly searching, but when true love comes, it blindsides you and you are rendered helpless." The olive characters search in every way possible, and the two who actually find love are blindfolded, because sometimes that is how love finds you.
His closing question to collectors is: "Was this true in your life?" The piece is presented as a gallery-wrapped canvas in tall formats. If you are ready to start or grow a collection, browse the full range of Michael Godard art for sale.

Godard's love-themed pieces
Dated to 2020, Find Love When Not Looking pairs Godard's olive and strawberry characters with a natural, romantic setting built around the idea that love often arrives unannounced. Fans of man cave art and Las Vegas pop art gravitate toward pieces like this one, a signature entry in his martini and olive catalog.
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, strawberries, and other characters set against high-contrast backgrounds, rendered with theatrical exaggeration and a satirist's sense of timing. Find Love When Not Looking applies that same craft to a story about love arriving unannounced, exactly what you see in this piece.
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.
