We are excited to offer reproductions of this beautiful original painting commissioned especially for Tucker's Tail by Ohio artist Mike Vardian.

Titled Keep Your Enemies Close, the artwork captures a side of Tucker that we don't get to see very often—begrudgingly making peace with his longtime squirrel nemesis. Anyone who follows Tucker knows that squirrels have always been public enemy number one, which makes this unlikely friendship all the more charming.

When we first discovered Mike's work, we immediately knew he was the artist we wanted to bring Tucker to life on canvas. His ability to capture personality, emotion, and incredible detail is truly remarkable. What makes his talent even more impressive is that Mike has only been painting for about 3½ years. Looking at the quality and realism of his work, it's clear that he has been blessed with an extraordinary gift.

We are honored to share Mike's interpretation of Tucker with you and hope this special piece brings as much joy to your home as it has to ours.

These prints are Giclée (pronounced "zhee-clay") prints which are high-quality fine art prints created using specialized inkjet printers, archival inks, and premium paper or canvas. The term comes from the French word gicler, meaning "to spray."

A true Giclée print typically uses:

• Archival pigment-based inks (not standard dye inks)

• Fine art paper or canvas designed for longevity

• High-resolution printing with exceptional color accuracy

• Professional printers capable of producing smooth gradients and fine detail

Giclée prints offer rich, vibrant color, sharp detail and smooth color transitions. They are fade resistant lasting 75-200 or more years when properly displayed.

NOTE: Pricing for all these prints includes shipping. However, if you are ordering other items along with your print(s) you will be charged shipping on those items. The prints ship by a third party so the free wristband offer does not apply to these prints.

We will be providing two different options of this beautiful painting of Tuck.

The first option is 100% Cotton Hot Press Archival Paper. This is a museum-quality fine art paper designed to showcase artwork with exceptional clarity, color, and detail. Made from 100% cotton rag and completely acid-free, this premium archival paper features a smooth matte finish that enhances sharp lines, rich blacks, and vibrant colors without unwanted glare. With a substantial weight of 300 gsm and a thickness of 16 mil, it offers a luxurious feel and lasting durability. Its impressive 96 ISO brightness and wide color gamut allow artwork to reproduce beautifully, while the pH-buffered, archival composition helps protect prints from yellowing and deterioration over time. This paper is an excellent choice for collectors seeking a high-end fine art reproduction that faithfully captures the beauty of the original artwork. This option will be available in two sizes - 12" x 16" or 18" x 24".

The second option is a gallery wrapped canvas. This is an exact reproduction of the original print stretched onto a wooden canvas frame. Printed on a premium heavyweight cotton-poly blend canvas with a smooth matte finish, it delivers rich colors, sharp details, and a subtle non-reflective surface that allows the artwork to shine from every angle. The canvas is expertly stretched and wrapped around a durable wooden frame, creating a clean, professional gallery-style presentation with the image extending around the edges for added depth and dimension. With its substantial 23 mil thickness, 99% opacity, and high-quality construction, this gallery wrapped canvas offers a timeless and elegant way to showcase the artwork while providing a durable piece that can be enjoyed for years to come. This option is available in 18" x 24" only.

Please Note: These prints are high-quality reproductions of the original commissioned painting and are not original works of art. Fine art paper prints are sold unframed and will arrive ready for you to frame according to your personal style and décor. Gallery wrapped canvas prints are professionally stretched over a wooden frame and arrive ready to hang, but do not include an additional decorative outer frame. This allows you to enjoy the beauty of the artwork while making it your own.
