Jesus Bugs Cheese & Charcuterie Board from The Charley Harper Art Studio Collection

Widely known as Charley’s favorite design, the delicate lines of the water strider skimming across the surface leads you to believe these little creatures can quite literally walk on water.

Introducing the Jesus Bugs Board.

The Jesus Bugs image comes from Charley Harper's 1969 serigraph "Water Striders " aka "Jesus Bugs".

Although we hand select every board we use in our production, please keep in mind that hardwoods are a natural product, therefore variations in color and grain may occur.

DIMENSIONS:
The board measures approximately 18" L x 7" W and is 3/4" thick.

"Can you think of a better name for insects that walk on water? Our ancestors couldn’t either, but your field guide calls them water striders. They hike around on the pond all their lives without even getting wet feet, and in shallow water on a sunny day their shadows sink like stones and tag along on the bottom. But who minds a wet shadow? If you had wide-spread, waxy feet that didn’t break the surface film, you too, could walk on water. And be famous for fifteen minutes." -Charley Harper

About The Artist:
Charley Harper (August 4, 1922 – June 10, 2007) was a Cincinnati-based American Modernist artist. He was best known for his highly stylized wildlife prints, posters, and book illustrations. In a style he called "minimal realism", Charley Harper captured the essence of his subjects with the fewest possible visual elements.
