Artwork description:

quite a crowd in this boat, but everybody is enjoying the trip! This print, no 7/9 is slightly misregistered so I have discounted the price to reflect that.

A linocut reduction means that I start by cutting away what I want to be white areas, I then roll up in the first color and all prints in the short edition of 9 prints, go through the press, for each print I have to ink up the plate again, I then cut away what I want to remain in that color, print all the prints and so on and on until the last color, all the time cutting away means I am left with the bare bones, which is why linocut reductions are also known as "lost plate". This print is rolled up very freehand, so the prints can vary a bit, I hope you will appreciate this as part of the creative process and why original prints are called original prints, each print rolled up in each color by me.

a very crowded Boat is printed in an edition of 9 prints, and I sign, title and number each print, they are all slightly different so you receive this very print, no 7/9

The heavy weight warm white printmaking paper measures 70 cm x 55 cm (28" x 21")
and the actual printed area measures 62 cm x 50 cm (24.5" x 20")

I ship with many years experience in packing my art so it arrives safely, see my over 1020 reviews!
