Red Hills Salamander – Signed Fine Art Print
$19.95 – $27.95
Information about the Red Hills Salamander:
The Red Hills Salamander is a larger terrestrial salamander native to a very small range of southern Alabama, in an area of only about 50-60,000 acres in a 60-mile narrow belt between the Conecuh and Alabama rivers. They usually grow to about 10 inches long (25 centimeters.) This amphibian wasn’t officially discovered until 1960. Much of the area that the salamander lives in is owned by paper companies, which are systematically clear-cutting the forest and slowly extirpating this salamander from the few areas they exist. For this reason the amphibian is considered threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN.) In 2000 the Alabama state legislature officially made the Red Hills Salamander the state amphibian.
The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:
• Paper thickness: 10.3 mil
• Paper weight: 5.6 oz/y² (192 g/m²)
• Opacity: 94%

Artist’s notes:
The Red Hills Octopus was completed on 4.2.2012. This drawing marked the beginning of perhaps the largest project I’ve undertaken: drawing every single US state animal. Starting with Alabama, and this salamander – which is the official state amphibian – I plan to go alphabetically through all 50 states completed drawings of every animal that has been given this distinction. The drawing is based on a photo by Kenny Wray.
