Conrad! Print #25 of 30

30 prints 30 days, north shore animal rescue, Prints, Small Print Store

Conrad, age 7

Conrad, linoleum block print, now on Etsy.

This is Conrad, one of my two Labradors. He was a rescue as a puppy from North Shore Animal Shelter, NY. Yesterday we had a rough day, Conrad, Homer and I ran into a pack of feral dogs while out on our walk. Conrad got a bit on his hind quarters. We spent all morning in the vets office getting him fixed up. Homer was so sad, he just stood stunned and crying after I got the dogs to run away. I have never seen anything like it. But if you know labs, they are happy within seconds of just about anything!

Conrad

This print is for Conrad, my rough and tumble, used to be afraid of everything dog, now friendly as can be and totally happy-go-lucky, even with big tooth holes in his leg. Conrad is a very special dog. He even likes his print.

I need a better photo of the goat. I finished after dark and had it hold it up outside to get a shot. It looks like my “selfie as a goat”

Polar Bear, print #22 of 30

Polar Bear

Thank you Carol for recommending a Polar Bear. Finally it is snowing in Abiquiu, NM and the whole landscape is covered in billowy snow.

This polar bear is printed in a icy blue onto white Rives BFK paper. I also print the bear in black, then cut out the eyes, ears, and nose and glue them, with archival glue, to the white paper. This gives the print a little dimension and the necessary black parts of the bear.

This print will be ready for mailing first thing Monday morning, January 26. I need a little extra time to glue all the tiny pieces on. There are 10 available for $20 each on Etsy and you can order yours now.

Here is a beautiful view from my studio the morning I made the Polar Bear.

A Pony Called Wildfire

If you were a kid growing up in the 70’s, is this familiar? “She comes down from Yellow Mountain, On a dark, flat land she rides…” You need a hint? Here is a great one:

This is a Wildfire inspired print, a childhood memory of a really bad song. Someone really needs to do a remix of this.

Elk in the Forest, print 19 of 30

I don’t know where else you would see an Elk but in the wilderness, and then only if you are lucky. But unless one of my dear followers suggestions a catchier title, “Elk in the Wilderness” will be it. This 10″ x 8″ two color print is now on my Etsy store!

This two color print was first printed with a block of green foliage over the whole 10″ x 8″ piece of Rives BFK paper. Then the Elk was printed in a slightly translucent brown with a hint of green ink. Here is a detail:

All together they make a great pattern, I almost want to print fabric that looks like this:

Framed underwater frog

Do you know frogs breath through their skin when they are underwater? That a frog can hibernate all winter in mud, breathing through it’s skin and living off it’s fat? This frog is a swimmer, right now he is just hanging out at the bottom of the creek, resting, but he is ready to kick to the surface at any time. Now on Etsy for $20.

This is a two color, 2 layer print, the wavy blue background is printed onto 10″ x 8″ Rives BFK paper, and the frog is printed in green and translucent, you can see the translucency in the detail, the frog is 6″ x 4″. The hand printed block does not come framed, it is only for reference.

Frog Detail

Each print is hand printed by the artist, me, Hilary Lorenz in my studio in New Mexico. For the month of January 2015 I will make one new image each day and offer it that day. I will only print 10 and I ship them out after 2-3 days – once the ink dries. This is print number 18 out of 30

Kookaburra

Kook-a-burra, isn’t it fun to say? There are 10 Kookaburra’s now on my Etsy Store or $20 each. This is print 15 of 30.

Seven years ago I spent three months in Tasmania. I loved hearing the Kookaburras, I also like saying the word, Kook-a-burr-a. I am missing my Australia friends, the human ones, so in thinking of them I made the kookaburra.

This print has a complicated rainbow roll of black to mid-lavender to blue. After I finished printing, I had ink left. I also had paper cutoffs. My paper, Rives BFK is 22″ x 30, it yields, 6, 8″ x 10″ sheets and 3, 6″ x 10″ sheets. So from here on out, I am going to print the cutoffs using the same ink but a different block. The peacock is an open edition and is available for $15 on Etsy.

Today you get the Kookaburra on 8″ x 10″ and a Peacock on 6″ x 10″ paper. Image size on both is 4″ x 6″. You can also get free shipping.
