Artwork description:

After, we have gone and the beautiful Earth goes back to just being nature in all it's wonderful variety!

a handprinted linocut reduction; this means that I have drawn the image on my piece of linoleum, I start by cutting away the areas I want to remain the cream colour of the paper, I then ink the lino up in the first color, when dy I cut away more lino to keep that color, and so on with all the colors, until the print is done, for wach color I take all 10 prints through the press and you can only print once per inking, a linocut reduction is labour intensive, but so fun. Once the ink and paper has dried I sign, title and number each print. As linocuts are real hands on printmaking, printmakers are allowed to call their prints original prints, and linocuts are a great way to start an art collection.

I printed "After"in a short edition of only 10 prints, each print is numbered and signed by me. Please note you might not receive the number in the photograph.

The linocut is printed on a piece of warm cram heavy printmaking paper, perfect for the image,
the paper measures 11" x 14.5" (28 x 37 cm)
and the actual images measures 8" x 12" (20 cm x 30 cm)

I ship my prints with a lot of experience in packing them so they arrive safely, see my over 1000 reviews.
