Description
A color offset lithograph print titled Zippo… the fire-eater… by American artist Will Bullas. The humorous composition features a blue-plumaged duck standing upright in a circus ring, wearing a superhero costume with a prominent orange Z on the chest. The duck is flanked by a blue bucket containing wicks, also marked with a Z, and a red bucket labeled FIRE. The background consists of a textured magenta upper field and a light tan circus ring floor. The print is hand-signed in pencil at the lower right margin with a script reading Will Bullas, followed by a copyright symbol and the date 1993, and the professional designations AWS NWS. The title Zippo… the fire-eater… is inscribed in pencil at the lower left margin. A printed copyright notice along the left vertical edge reads © 1996 The Greenwich Workshop, Inc. All rights reserved. © Will Bullas. The print is housed in a red-painted wooden frame behind glass with a double mat in cream and red. The artwork is printed on paper with a visible speckled texture.
