A roadrunner stands among prickly pear and red blossoms holding a scorpion in its beak, its long barred tail sweeping up behind it and a red sun low in the background.
It is drawn in fine detail with flat desert colour, closer to a vintage travel poster than a wildlife plate. There is no text.
Roadrunners really do eat scorpions, which is not what most people picture when they think of the bird. For the southwest, for desert walkers, and for anyone who likes an animal shirt with a fact in it rather than a punchline.
