Bertram And Friends
Print measures 9”x12” (Has Border)
Giclee print on bright white 245g textured watercolor fine art paper. It has a matte finish and a bit of tooth to it, and is highly durable (made from poly cotton fiber). Acid and Lignin-free (Lignins acidify paper as they degrade over time).

Having many legs sounds advantageous, yes?
It certainly can be when they all work in tandem, when all the legs are similar sizes and perform similar tasks.
Poor Bertram’s legs were not and did not. One was long and noodly and another was stout and strong.
One of the middle ones was particularly muscular but he had a hard time controlling it whenever he tried to create webbing. For Bertram, spinning was the worst.
Poor Bertram often felt clumsy and stupid as the other spiders, lithe little spheres with perfectly slender limbs, glided through the web casting their diaphanous thread. They looped it with legs that were perfectly coordinated, employing a profound muscle memory that Bertram had never developed.
Whenever he began to feel down the lumpy little spider would try to remember that he had other talents…
You see, the other spiders had long ago realized how intimidated the flies were of Bertram. Their wild movements upon seeing him only served to further entangle them in the surrounding web, sealing their fate.
In order to catch a fly, you must first convince it that it is indeed caught, and in deep trouble….
Bertram, suffice it to say, was very convincing indeed!
