Jellysnakes expresses the meandering thoughts, distractions, and procrastinations of my mind. Each colour a different emotion evoked by a different thought, reaction to a cute cat video, the unexpected ring of the doorbell etc etc. All made come to silly life by adding a pair of googly eyes!
Strawberry pink, warm salmon, burnt orange, cherry red, dusty teal, and soft cream wind through this print in bold interlocking segments, giving it a palette that runs decidedly warm with one cool note of muted blue-green anchoring the lower body of the snake. That warmth makes it a natural companion to walls in terracotta, warm blush, or deep paprika – all tonal neighbours that echo the print’s salmon and orange hues without competing with them. The lone teal segment earns a more adventurous pairing too: a wall in soft sage or grey-green would sit in near-complementary tension with the surrounding reds and pinks, pulling that single cool note to the fore in a satisfying, considered way. Style-wise, this print belongs in spaces that lean towards maximalist, retro-playful, mid-century modern, or contemporary eclectic interiors – anywhere that treats colour as a design decision rather than a risk. A child’s bedroom or creative studio suits its mood perfectly, as does a kitchen or dining room where something genuinely joyful can hold the wall. This print belongs to the Jellysnakes collection, a series of six giclée prints that capture fleeting distractions and wandering thoughts, each one brought to silly life with a pair of googly eyes, and hanging two or three from the collection side by side makes a gallery wall that is hard to walk past without smiling. It would make a generous gift for anyone who works creatively, or for a child old enough to appreciate that a snake with googly eyes is a serious work of art.
Printed with archival pigment inks on Hahnemühle Photo Rag® – a museum-grade cotton paper with a subtle felt texture – the surface is matte and entirely glare-free, which means the colours read as richly in a bright conservatory as in a softly lit hallway, and the print sits happily in both a slim oak or black metal frame and an ornate plaster or gilded vintage one. At A4 the print is shelf-friendly, ideal tucked amongst plants or propped on a mantelpiece, and it works well as part of a tighter gallery arrangement; A3 and A2 step up to hold their own on a desk wall or above a bed without overwhelming a smaller room; A1 gives the Jellysnake genuine presence on a staircase or in an open-plan living space; and A0 is the version that anchors a room, filling a wide, generous wall with all that warm, winding colour. This print is also available as a ready-to-hang canvas print measuring 28×40 inches (70×100 cm), requiring no frame.
