"Flying the Coop" is an original pencil drawing by Citrus County Florida artist Michael Arnold.

The drawing’s inspiration was from a montage I created using cutout magazine ads. I wanted to merge indoor and outdoor elements with the man in the drawing caught in mid leap between the two. This drawing was one of my first efforts after deciding to take my art more seriously. As a side note, at one time I owned a cabinet shop, and my love for cabinetry is something I wanted to showcase in the artwork.
