"Secrets" Revealed. Ships free worldwide

Secrets

"There is more to be feared from a closed mind than closed doors" -Frank Tyger

Finally got around to framing this piece from last Wednesday. The drawing in mounted under a hidden acid free mat that keeps it from touching the glass. Rustic frame & metal key are sprayed with a clear finishing coat. Whole thing measures just under 8" x 10" and is ready to hang. Available now in my ArtSnark etsy shop with free shipping worldwide. Click on image for more details.

While we're talking about Secrets, who the heck was Frank Tyger? I went off on a googling tangent today to find out more about the man behind so many quotes. Found a dead Wiki page & this on yahoo. He may have been a reporter in NJ, he may just be a cover for misc unattributed quotations..... the man remains a mystery. I challenge you to find out what you can about the elusive Frank Tyger. If you come up with anything, please share. I do love a good mystery!

  2. Yes, beautifully done indeed, and I love this quote. I can't recall ever hearing of this man as well, but it looks like he was responsible for some very memorable words of wisdom.

  8. All I know about him is that he said this quote {according to a link on Bing.com}: "Listening to both sides of a story will convince you that there is more to a story than both sides."
