Surfing in Flickr the other day I stumbled upon in a series of really cool macro pictures of my Enamored Whale Letterpress Print. I couldn't resist ask the permission to share with you such a wonderful images, I just love the way of how the textures were captured with lighting on the series. Thank you Danny for buying the print and taking great photos of it!
It's been three years since I did an illustration named The Enamored Whale, that particular illustration means a lot to me cause practically marked the beginning of my illustrator career and still one of the most popular works I've ever done. So, in a way to celebrate these exciting years of an amazing journey creating art I made a stylized version of The Enamored Whale and brought it to you in a limited edition of signed beautiful letterpress prints. Available now on my ETSY shop by $20.
Print specifications:
• 8.5" X 11" Letterpress print, three colors (chocolate color has a metallic touch) on 100% recycled handmade paper. • Soy based inks (VOC free) are hand-mixed and printed each by hand in a limited edition of 250. Hand signed and numbered by me. • Carefully packaged and shipped in stay flat mailer, protected with print protector bag for long-term storage.
The prints were printed by the fine guys of Olivine Studio in Portland, here are some pictures of the process in the making of these beauties, I'm so pleased with the results! :D
