About the Design:
This large folk art print features a Crayfish, or as I always call them, "Crawdad" amidst freshwater mussels, minnows, water weeds, and a water strider. The summer of 2020 was difficult in many ways, but one of the nice parts of it was exploring in the creek with my kids. I've been wanting to carve a Crayfish for a while, but this print was a special request by a customer to give as a gift. I previously made a handful of artist proofs from this carving, where I experimented with different colors (Blue, green, and red.). The blue turned out so beautifully, I made a little mini edition of 19 prints. As always, less than 100 prints total (including all editions and artist proofs) will be made from this block.
