Lot description - from the online catalogue*
Jeff Leedy is recognized as one of the top humorous artists in the U.S. Through outdoor art shows, collectors, numerous gallery accounts and the licensing of his images onto products, he has built a national following. In his book, "Are You Laughing At My Art?", he devotes a full page to why he is funny. It says,"You see, God gave me this strange set of contact lenses, and this is how I see life." One of Leedy's life goals has been to spread laughter in the world. But instead of becoming an elite fine artist, Jeff chose to create scores of affordable prints so that everyone could enjoy his off-centre humour. "Originally with my art, I thought I was just making you laugh. I was mistaken. What happened was that my art made people happy." Since 1990, Leedy has self-published a myriad of open and limited edition prints. He currently lives in Boise, ID.
Most realised prices include the Buyer's Premium of 18-25%, but not the HST/GST Tax.
