The Hand that Pours the Coffee

This is merely an artist proof that I decided to color in Photoshop.  There is still work to be done.  It's almost there, but not quite.  I like using Photoshop in some cases because it gives me a chance to play around with the colors.

I used unmounted linoleum for this one, mounted on a piece of plexiglass.  The print measures 3" x 8".  I like using the unmounted linoleum because I can do odd sizes.  The downside of this is that someday in the not-too-distant future I'm going to have to invest in a matcutter AND learn how to use it. 

As I have mentioned before, I am carving blocks faster than I can print them. Printing and coloring could be reserved when I don't have any ideas for prints.  I'm not trying to jinx myself here so I won't say anything else about inspiration.  I think you know what I mean...

This print is now available at my Artfire shop or you can buy it directly from me.
