Available free for download for your printing pleasure, this piece is versatile and complementary to an array of different art styles, paintings, or photographs you may have on your wall already. This minimalist print shines nicely as a large focal point in a living room or bedroom, or can simply add detail in a bathroom or above a bar cart.
“Why would I want a giant silhouette of a deer’s head on my wall,” you ask? Well, besides being a bougie home decor trend, deer, or the stag, has thousands of years of cultural significance spanning almost every society around the world. In European heraldry, the stag head frequently appears on coats of arms representing strength. In traditional, northeastern areas of Japan, deer are considered messengers to the gods. In Greek mythology the deer is seen alongside Artemis, the virginal huntress. Stag depictions were present in Siberian burial tombs from the 4th and 3rd centuries BCE. In the poetry from the Highlands of Scotland, the deer is used as a metaphor for heroic warriors. And in the homes of hunters for hundreds of years, a mounted deer head represents a prized possession and symbol of a strong, successful hunter.

When not printing black and white options at Staples, my go-to is always the Costco Photo Center. For a beautiful 16”x20” poster print they only charge $5.99, which is unbeatable. The frame I used is the “Verserum” from Ikea that sells for only $12.99. A quick pass with the spray paint color of your choice, and you have a simple, large art piece at an amazing price.
