Hand-drawn Digital/Fine Art Print on Metal by Michael Pantuso: Serpentine Swan, Framed

The swan has been fitted with a helmet and a drivetrain.

Serpentine Swan by Michael Pantuso is a hand-drawn digital fine art print on metal, framed, in aluminum. Printing on aluminum gives inks a clean, luminous surface and strong blacks, which suits images that are meant to feel built rather than painted. On a black ground a white swan spreads silver and blue feathers, her neck curled low, an orange beak pointing down. She is wired into cogs, chains, tubing and a small propeller. A webbed black foot hangs at the bottom, and blue droplets drift outward. It measures 38 inches wide and 38 high.

Ballet has come a long way.
