How much wood could a woodcut cut if a woodcut...

This morning I finished my print for an exchange we are doing with some school in Montana. The theme was "How much wood could a woodcut cut if a woodcut could cut wood?" I took a picture of my most lumberjack looking friend, Jackson, and made him into a kind of Urban Lumberjack. In fact, I think that's going to be the name of the print: "Urban Lumberjack." It has a nice ring to it. I had toyed with the idea of doing the mash-up and calling it "Lumber Jackson," but I don't think I will.

Sometimes I forget how nice it is to work small. These prints were only 8x8" and they were ultra-quick to ink up.

Alright. You've done one of Alex. You've done one of Jackson. I think it's time that you do one of your number one best friend.

I do concur on the whole idea of doing one of your wife. What is that all about, yo? Hey but the one of Jackson is awesome!

Wonderful prints DO come in small sizes! And Urban Lumberjack will be a hit at the exchange. Maybe you'll even post a snapshot of the other prints you acquire. oooh
