The Lion is Unfree is part of a large series of limited edition linocut prints, including some single monotype prints, all based on The Circus. 
 
The Circus is endlessly fascinating and inspiring, even as nowadays it is almost extinct entertainment, as it is difficult to support particularly due to the treatment of the animals.
 
It is inspiring as our oddities and excentricities become talents to capitalize on, and in doing so, it almost seems to be a practice of protest against the society that has marginalised those oddities in the first place.
 
It has been incredibly freeing to spend time with these interesting characters, amongst whom you can truly let your freak flag fly, and I hope as you will surround your home with them, they will remind you that your uniqueness is the best thing about you, and entire shows should be built around it!
