Artwork Description

Playful yet unsettling, “I Promise I Won’t Bite (But I Probably Will)” is a bold, graphic artwork that balances humor with menace. A deep green, serpentine creature twists across the composition, its eye peering out with mischievous intent. Above and below, the stark text declares a contradictory message — part reassurance, part threat.

The flat, poster-style aesthetic evokes underground zine culture, punk graphics, and mid-century bold typographic posters. Both ironic and striking, this print functions as art, statement, and conversation starter all at once.

Artist Statement

This work reflects the contradictions of human nature: promises we make versus instincts we can’t always control. Through playful design and simple color blocking, the artist delivers an image that’s equal parts satire and self-reflection.
