This whimsical comedic fantasy scene features a startled retro explorer wearing a black beret, olive trench coat, and formal necktie, soaring mid-flight high above the layered red rock cliffs of the Grand Canyon. He is outfitted with an elaborate pair of decorative mechanical glider wings mounted to his back, accented with gold detailing, vintage crest emblems, and fabric wing panels. Set against a bright, clear pale blue sky, the surreal adventure imagery blends dry comedy, retro-futurist steampunk aesthetics, and iconic southwestern US national park scenery.
