Artist's Comments

Its the spirit of the wind!! wooooosh.

This is a reduction relief print I did about a year ago. I forgot about it even though its been hanging on my door this whole time :P I made it by cutting a 2.5 ft by 1.5 ft printing block. First cutting away what was going to be white-print 5 copies in blue - cut away what's going to stay blue - print 5 copies on same paper in green - cut away what's going to stay green etc etc until your left with 5 prints of a multi-colored dragon and one pretty sad looking piece of wood. So I only have 5 copies of it.. ever. I may sell em on ebay, I dunno.

Wow- beautiful. I love it, i have a fascination with dragons and water so this is a kinda perfect combo for me. The wings are perticularly purty.

Wow...that rocks my socks! I love the printing style--it reminds me of those Japanese prints/paintings of waves and Mt. Fuji and such. :)

I actually thought the wood was easier to cut than linoleum.. This was special printing wood though, I didnt butcher my hands at all like I usually did with the Linoleum. :D

:faint: That's gorgeous! The wings look beautiful. But to the right of the wing that's on the left of the picture it looks like there's a little design or something. Just awesome work I always see from you.

:confused: hmm i dunno! We did have to put a rubber stamp design somewhere on the piece and mine's actually on the bottom left hand side (its a little moon with wings) Is that what youre seeing? Otherwise Im not sure, ^^; There are a lot of smudgings and variations that happen in the printing process though, and they sometimes leave little surprises everywhere
