About the Design:
"Red Spotted Purple" is a continuation of a series of native pollinators that I am creating. It takes inspiration from biological specimen drawings, but with a folk art touch to it. This piece features the native Red Spotted Purple Butterfly set amidst a black cherry tree. Black cherry is an important host plant for this species. This is part of an edition of 80 prints on this lovely kraft colored paper, and I will also do an edition of 19 prints on white paper.
Item Details:
This particular print is made from a hand carved "blick blue" linoluem printmaking block.
The printed area of this artwork measures approximately 7 Inches wide by 5 inches tall.
Includes a custom cut, acid free matboard and backing board which measures 8x10 on the exterior and will fit into widely available standard frames.
The thick, archival printmaking paper used is sustainably forested, and made using 100% wind energy during the manufacturing process.
The inks used are all made right here in beautiful NC :)
Each Limited Edition print is signed and numbered in pencil by me.
All New South limited edition blocks are limited to less than 100 imprints, including all editions and artist proofs, ensuring that every piece is special.
