About Michael Godard
2 Hyenas Walk Into a Bar does exactly what its title promises, setting up a joke and trusting Michael Godard's expressive animal characters to deliver the punch line. It belongs to his Safari Series, which extends the personified, comic-timing approach he developed with olives and grapes into the animal kingdom, and the hyena, an animal already associated with laughter, is an inspired choice of subject.
Godard was born in 1963 and is based in Las Vegas, where he worked as a drummer before turning to painting full time. Known as the "Rockstar of the Art World," he built his reputation giving olives, grapes, and other fruit bold personalities in high-contrast, character-driven scenes. After losing his daughter Paige to cancer, he has supported children's cancer charities including St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and that mix of humor and heart runs through everything he paints, jokes included.
Metal Editions
Safari Series: 2 Hyenas walk into a bar is also available as limited "on Metal" editions, printed on metal with their own sizes and pricing:
- 40" x 60" M Edition on Metal, material Metal, $4,995
