Rudolph Metal Print

This beautiful print is made by printing dye ink on paper and then transferring it directly onto the aluminum corrosion-resistant sheet with heat. This results in a high gloss, luminescent finish. They're waterproof and scratch-proof, too! The 12 x 12-inch print arrives with a floating hanger that can be easily hung on a nail or hook, making mounting it a breeze.

Limited edition; this item will NOT be available on our online store.

The Story

One day, while watching the deer in my backyard, I thought about Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. I wondered what he might look like in real life, if his nose really did light up and wasn’t just some silly illuminated cartoon clown nose. My brain is a weird place, but it’s what inspired this painting.

As I was working on it, I could almost feel my heart breaking for little Rudolph, as if I wanted to assure him that he is awesome. I wanted to beg him to pay those bullies no mind. I wanted to remind him that the thing that makes him stand out – the very thing others mock him for – is his gift to share with the world.

Eventually, I realized Rudolph in this painting was me.

And he is you.

Like Rudolph, there is a light within you. It might be hidden in your pain, your brokenness, or the thing that makes you weird. It pulses when you share it for the good of another and brighten someone’s day.

Darkness doesn’t hide the truth. It uses just enough of it to get you to believe the lies. It’s true that you aren’t enough.

The lie is that you need to be. Like Rudolph, we just need you to share your light with the rest of us.
