About Safari Series: King of Beers
Safari Series: King of Beers is part of Michael Godard's expanding catalog of limited edition fine art. Rendered in Godard's signature bold, saturated color palette, this piece from the Safari Series carries the same theatrical exaggeration and craftsmanship collectors recognize across his work: the Safari Series takes Godard's personified-character style out of the bar and into the savanna, giving big-game animals the same comic timing and hidden-detail treatment as his original olive characters. 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, giving collectors new details to find long after the piece is on the wall.

About Michael Godard
Michael Godard built his career on turning ordinary bar culture into a cast of characters, and the Safari Series shows what happens when he points that same instinct at the animal kingdom. He was a working drummer in Las Vegas bands, a trade he kept up until he was nearly thirty while also earning income in architectural drafting and commercial illustration. That mix of stage presence and technical draftsmanship shaped an artist who could render precise linework while still thinking like a performer, which is exactly the tension that makes a piece like King of Beers work: a technically disciplined painting built around a joke.
Metal Editions
Safari Series: King of Beers 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
