Papilio zalmoxis

Known as the Giant Blue Swallowtail, this enchanting eyeful would also be a double handful, taking the prize for 2nd largest swallowtail in all of Africa. Its yellow body provides contrast for the striped black-edged wings that shimmer a robin egg blue with hints of green, a lovely change for a creature that started out its life as a caterpillar camouflaged as a bird turd. http://www.otherist.com/papilio-zalmoxis.html

Suzanne Norris - Curiosity Cabinet

If you're at all familiar with the Otherist, then you know we're madly in love with Cabinets of Curiosities. One might even say that Ye Olde Worlde Wunderkammers are one of our biggest inspirations when we go in search of new items with which to populate the shop. So it should come as no surprise that when one of our customers clued us in to Suzanne Norris' amazing new screen print Curiosity Cabinet we quite literally jumped at the chance to have this amazing work in the shop.
