The Story of the Shot

The phrase “Eating the Box” is a nod to the incredible hardiness of bison. In spring and summer, they are feeding on lush green vegetation and living the good life. But in winter, they have to make do eating dry grasses with little nutritional value. As the saying goes out here, “In the summer, bison are eating cereal. In the winter, bison are eating the box.” I was also drawn to the color scheme of this scene, with the tans and browns of the bison and grass sandwiched between the cool faded tones of winter’s snows. If you are interested in another shot that showcases the hardiness of bison in harsh winters, check out this print of a bison browsing on willows (an unusual food source for them).

Print Type

METAL: Metal prints feature dye directly infused onto a thin sheet of aluminum. They are sleek and modern, featuring vibrant colors and an almost magical luminescence. Because they are made from a solid sheet of metal, they are waterproof and scratch resistant. Also, no framing is required for metal prints! Simply mount the print directly to your wall (mounting hardware is included with each print).

PAPER: Paper prints are un-framed and include just the print itself. The buyer is responsible for matting and framing the print once it has been delivered. That way, you can use a frame that you already have, or choose your own custom frame to better match your existing décor.

PLEASE NOTE: All prints ship directly from my print lab partner and are therefore not able to be signed. If you are interested in a signed print, please contact me to place a custom order. Signed prints usually cost slightly more since I need to have the print shipped twice (once from the print lab to me, and again from me to you).

Shipping

All orders ship for free. Please allow 2-4 weeks total for production and shipping/delivery. At this time, I am only able to ship to the contiguous 48 US states. Any orders with a shipping address outside of this area will be canceled and refunded.
