(dedicated to my brother Marvin)
I had originally intended for this to be just a regular bicycle.
I took a blank linoleum block with me to work with no ideas in mind. "Just in case I come up with something," I thought to myself. I did some doodles on a blank piece of paper but nothing grabbed me or came to me, or...
Then I started drawing the bicycle, all the while thinking, "how mundane, how commonplace."
Then from nowhere came the thought, wings, this bike needs wings....
Then I thought, well, if Hermes had ridden a bicycle, this is possibly what it would look like, right?
All this and I hadn't even finished my first cup of coffee....
The print measures 4" x 3". The total dimensions are 6" x 5". It is available on my Artfire store or you can click the button below to be taken directly to PayPal checkout.

This is wonderful! All of these block prints are fantastic, I really enjoyed seeing them here. It's an exciting way to work. I used to do block prints, way back in another life :-)
I love the bike, and your block prints are wonderful! nancy
I really like your prints. I've tried printmaking and had such fun with it, but I'm not nearly as accomplished as you are. I'll be looking at your artwork a few times to pick up ideas and tips. Keep on posting to EDM...that's how I found your blog. Great stuff here.
Your lino cuts are wonderful, I love that bike, and would like one with wings too,
I hope to see your next postings in EDM
