Ōmagari- a three colour reduction lino print. Distressed and hand aged with acrylic washes and completely archival. An edition of 18 with each print being unique due to the particular ageing. Paper size is 8.25" x 11.25" and the image size is about 6" x 9"
I've got a soft spot for old ephemera and thought making reproductions would be a good way to grow and explore my print practice. This design is not mine but it has been hand drawn and carved into a crusty old piece of lino I had kicking around. I have reason to believe the writing may be reversed in my print but I hope that doesn't take away from the aesthetic qualities of the Japanese script. It's been suggested that this might be an advert for sushi available at Ōmagari station but that hardly makes sense with the accompanying surprised skeleton but I was charmed by the overall composition and it made me happy to work with it. it seems more likely to me that it might have something to do with joint pain and acupuncture or at any rate a fellow with some medical distress.
I have no affiliation with buying any charitable foundations but am choosing a charity to benefit from each of my prints. For this print $15 from the sale of each print will be donated to the Doctors Without Borders.
