About this work

This print shows a roaring lion looming over a scared-looking man. The lion’s mouth is wide open, teeth bared, and its fur is rough and textured. The man below has a surprised face, his mouth open as if screaming. Above the lion, the words *"Why me?"* are written in loose, blue script. The lion’s fierce expression and the man’s fear create a strong contrast. The print uses bold, rough lines and a mix of pinks, browns, and blues to make the scene feel intense.
