Blue Hummingbird

To keep it honest, I printed this three days before I launched 30/30, making it sort of a cheat, but the great news is they are dry and can ship Monday morning.

When I can, during the week, I like to carve one block ahead in case I have other events in my life to participate in. This weekend I had a ski lesson and a snowshoe race, on two separate days, each one was 100 miles of travel. That travel seriously cuts into carving and printing time. But that means tomorrow it will be a real print extravaganza from 8am to 8pm, printing, carving, printing more, packaging and shipping them off to you!

Framed Hummingbird

The image is still 4″ x 6″ linoleum block printed but the paper is slightly smaller 6.5″ x 9″ instead of 8″ x 10″ It is still an edition of 10. It is printed onto German Etch paper which is super rich and heavy.

Print comes unmatted and unframed, picture is framed work is only an example.

Each print is hand printed by the artist, me, Hilary Lorenz in my studio in New Mexico. Each morning I carve a new animal into my linoleum and print never more than 10. I make these cleaver and fun prints available to you on a daily basis through January 31, 2015, This is print #11. And who knows maybe I will extend it!
