contemplating chicken: various thoughts

OKAY GUYS THEY ARE UP IN THE SHOP

Both cards AND prints! 

PARTAKE, I TELL YOU, IN THE FINENESS OF FRENCH BULLDOGS.

Note: In light of the somewhat time-consuming process of watercoloring, the prints will be $15, which is slightly higher than I previously mentioned.

AN UPDATE as regarding A French Gentleman (or Mr. Frenchie as I have taken to calling him.)

I really, really need to take a few days break from linoleum carving. It’s fun but it makes everything from my shoulders down hurt mightily. I did a quick test and indeed, if I am careful to avoid the printed lines, I can fairly easily/quickly watercolor these little dudes. I still haven’t decided how I’m going to do the border/background, but I’m definitely going to watercolor Mr. Frenchie himself. Because of the extra time (in carving the bigger block/coloring) these are going to be a little more expensive — I’m just going to say $14. 

Anyway, I’ll update later, but I’m shortly off to the city to go WRITE WRITE WRITE (and drink a chai latte, mmm.)

Oh my laws

what have a I done

I’ll just have to make an extra eye stamp I guess.
