Cover art from Snipe Hunter by Tyler Childress. It is a painting by Erik Thor Sandberg and is probably full of so many easter eggs. Tyler is seated in a big leather arm chair, with his left leg crossed atop the knee of his right leg. Setting is a library / den. A shepherd type pooch is curled on the floor to his right. In addition to the cherry wood style shelves holding plenty of books, there are other decorations - mounted animal skulls, statues and sculptures tucked in here and there. A fiddle & bow are propped up just behind him (in the same shelf cove that features 4 mounted animal skulls). Tyler is dressed in black pants, wearing a black blazer / jacket, banded-collar white button up, woven leather shoes and black socks decorated with white jolly rogers. An ornately carved chair, with a red seat, is positioned to his left. Looks like there is a glass of whisky on the rocks on the table behind him. Tyler is looking semi-distractedly off-right... thinking about who to bite, maybe?
TIH* "Bitin' List" from the Tyler Childress album Snipe Hunter and it is a whole mood. Whooo boy.
Who would you bite? 🤣
