About Safari Series: Tall Drink
Safari Series: Tall Drink is part of Michael Godard's expanding catalog of limited edition fine art. The piece gives a sharply dressed giraffe, jacket, patterned scarf, and all, a seat at a lamplit table with a glass of wine and a couple of bottles close at hand, an African mask on the wall behind him. The pun in the title is the joke: a giraffe, of all animals, finally gets his tall drink. As with all of Godard's limited editions, Safari Series: Tall Drink 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
A giraffe pouring itself a glass of wine at the end of a long day is exactly the kind of quiet visual joke Michael Godard's Safari Series was built to tell, with the title's pun doing the work. The piece extends the personified, character-driven style he first developed with olives and grapes into the animal kingdom.
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.
Metal Editions
Safari Series: Tall Drink 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
