Trial proof (TP 1/3) besides the edition of 91 pc // And When I Want to Fly Home, What Do I Do? by Raymond Pettibon is a 2004 lithograph that blends dark humor with introspective commentary. The image depicts two men, one of whom has large, surreal wings attached to his back, yet appears grounded in a business suit, highlighting a tension between freedom and constraint. The man with wings is engaged in a contemplative dialogue, asking, And when I want to fly home what do I do? Click my ruby slippers together and… referencing the iconic phrase from The Wizard of Oz in a way that underscores a sense of helplessness or irony. Pettibon’s use of minimal shading and strong line work reinforces the feeling of a graphic novel or comic strip, yet the subject matter veers into philosophical territory, questioning the nature of desire, escape, and existential confinement. This artwork speaks to the human yearning for freedom while being tethered by societal expectations or personal limitations.

What is animation?
Animation is the process of displaying a sequence of static images in rapid succession to create the illusion of movement. Each image, or frame, is slightly altered from the previous one, particularly in the moving parts, so when shown together, they form a continuous motion. Traditionally, illustrators drew each frame by hand to produce this effect.
