Mini Woodcut for Cascade Print Exchange VIII

This new woodcut print has been made specially for the Cascade Print Exchange organised by Yuji Hiratsuka of Oregon State University. It is only 5″x7″ which is the paper size and that’s about as big as a postcard, and probably contains the most flourescent colours I have used with woodblock printing. It’s another four colour separation which, I’m really enjoying at the moment so it’s quite probable there will be plenty more of these brightly coloured woodcuts on the way soon. For more info on the print exchange and how to take part please email me via the contacts tab. Deadline for the arrival of prints to Cascade is the 31st Jan 2014.
