Shifty

I set out to do a small simple linocut. I drew the design directly on the block, which measures 4 x 1 3/4. Simple, I kept telling myself...

Then I started on the shading. Maybe I am incapable of simple. I love cross-hatching and shading and shadows....

So here it is, the smallest print I have (so far) and probably (again, so far) the most detailed. Although it didn't turn out exactly as I had envisioned, I am still pleased with the end result...

The print is part of a larger, yet to be determined, edition. Handcolored with watercolor.

This print is now available for purchase on Artfire.
