"America the Beautiful" in Black + White


We finished cutting, ran 3 proofs and put the best in this frame for the Manifest Hope show--all within a 2 hour span before the Fed Ex closed. Ack! We made it with very few moments to spare!

Though we had seriously hoped that we would have time to have the color print done for the show...we have learned a lot about what we are physically capable of handling in woodcut with 2 week deadline. The full color edition is available pre-order right now on our website as we work to print the edition over the next 6-8 weeks. The price will leap from the pre-order price when we have the juicy color version up.

"America the Beautiful" matted + ready to go into her frame. Excuse the washed out pics, we were working like trolls in our basement.

Finishing the text "America the Beautiful" in the eagle's banner...


Detail of Hawaii and twirled flag across the bottom of the image.


The eagle!


Almost finished cutting...you can still see traces of the red we drew into the flags...


Close up of South East US and Nashville...


More drawing, more cutting...working in shifts...
