Build Before the Rain Canvas: Epic of Gilgamesh Flood Wall Art

Build before the rain.

In Tablet XI of the Epic of Gilgamesh, one of the oldest stories ever written, a god warns a man named Utnapishtim that a flood is coming. He doesn't wait for the clouds. He tears down his reed house and builds a boat, as wide as it is long, with six decks dividing it into seven. When the rain finally comes, the boat is already finished.

This canvas is for anyone building something before they need it: the business before the layoff, the savings before the emergency, the skill before the opportunity. A seven-deck boat in cream and gold under a falling storm, its door lit and waiting.

• Matte canvas stretched over a 1.25" pine frame, with hanging hardware on the back
• Three sizes: 12 x 16, 18 x 24 and 24 x 32 inches
• The sides wrap in the same near-black as the art, so it looks finished from every angle
• Printed to order in the US

• 25% of the profit goes to SM-Give
