Adam Rhine Prints

2002?  Prints of LM and TH by Adam Rhine.  $15 each from Adam Rhine, March, '03. 

 

LM has the mouse holding a large chainsaw labeled “Rat-N-Decker”.   The vibrant colors make for a very appealing fable illustration -- and a humorous glance back at the fable's rope-chopping element.

 

TH shows the hare resting by a tree and reading a newspaper with the headline “Hare Favored to Win Race”.  He is alerted by the sound of tortoise whizzing by on a motorcycle.  This drawing humorously reflects the moral behind the original Aesop fable.  Is there in fact something of the tortoise's shell in the image of a hard riding motorcyclist?
