BIG, BAD WOLF WOODCUT

"BIG, BAD WOLF"
16" x 20.5" Woodcut Print on Natural Japanese Kitakata Paper
Paul Roden + Valerie Lueth, 2011.

LIMITED EDITION OF 100 PRINTS!

We finished this fun woodcut print a while ago, but just realized we forgot to blog about it! Kicking off in a different direction than the LIFE OF LEISURE Series, we have a growing group of prints we're bundling under the SINGLES section of our webstore.

"BIG, BAD WOLF" imagines a traditional storybook boogieman comically goose-stepping a path through a thicket of rosebush thorns (shaped like a castle!). The grey stalks, punctuated with rainbow pink blossoms, softly frame the jagged, furry darkness of the playfully lurking predator. This print is pulled from 2 woodblocks and, like "TROJAN UNICORN PEGASUS," it is printed on natural Kitakata Japanese paper.

See it in our ONLINE SHOP!
