Original linocut "Night owl", (dedicated to all "night owls" out there - I used to be one before I had my girl :) 
Designed (as all of my linocuts) by myself, carved on linoleum and handprinted with highly-pigmented oil-based ink in Burnt Amber on a heavyweight 100% cotton rag paper Somerset.  Once dry, I hand-tint it with watercolor and embellish with 23 ct gold. This is a small limited edition of 20 - there is also a separate  monochrome (uncoloured) edition - please see the listing  here 
 
 
 
This design was inspired by my love of "Arts and Crafts" and "Art Nouveau" movements in general,  and my admiration for the work of Russian illustrator Ivan Bilibin (1876 - 1942), in particular. Bilibin used illustrative borders throughout most of his book illustrations and I tried to design my own border for this linocut.
