121 - SNAKE - ink - 1986

Powerful art! Great work!

eva,s pal?—i love them but from a distance here i have run across ratters off and on but they are nice they =usually=? warn you they don,t like you either

What can I say. It’s powerful. That’s just the best description.

Excellent work Dave! This would make a great etching.

Excellent work Dave!!! Your pen and ink works are always powerful and dramatic.

We have rattlesnakes here in Penticton, although I have not seen one since I moved here. I’m pretty happy about that too!!! In July a young lad was bitten by some kind of water snake. Apparently they go across Skaha Lake from time to time.

Great detail Dave. I just found some time to look at your work. Awesome!

Thanks sully47.

I realy like your snake. Very good shaddowing, it gives me Ideas.

When I was younger I owned a red tail Boa, Then I found out how big they get and that they eat pigs and rabbits, when they are 6 feet long. I could not keep it for I felt to gilty feeding it mice. Snakes are not slimy they are very smooth and are very gracefull. But if you have pets wash your hands, they have a very good sence of smell. Every snake has its own personality, just like any other animal. just remember some snakes bite at fast movement of the hands or feet.

Hi Dave – Love his expresssion.
I used to be head keeper at a small animal park and one of my duties was giving snake demonstrations. We had about 5 snakes in total and the biggest was about 18 ft long and weighed approx. 200lb (it took 3 of us to carry it) but they’re not that bad Dave, honest (unless they’re hungry that is!). I recommend you hold one as they feel nothing like most people would imagine.

Excellent work.
Some people might even like this as a tattoo, which is a growing market for real artists in our area.
