Armored Pig
Alex Quirk
Printmaking linocut
on traditional Japanese Kitakata paper
13”h x 17.5”w
Mounted in a 16"x20" display board - unframed


This piece is a hand printed fine art linocut print in black ink.

This highly detailed relief print started as an original drawing sketched straight on a linoleum carving block and then the design was carved into the block, inked, compressed in a lever-style press, and hand pulled individually from the block. Each print comes signed in pencil and marked with a traditional stone makers seal unique to the artist for added authenticity. Because of the hand printed process each print may have slight variations making each a true original.

Each piece is carefully packaged in a protective cellophane made of 100% virgin, high clarity polypropylene film.

Get to Know the Austin Artist:
My designs are inspired by nature. Getting outside is good for the soul- it reminds us to slow down, stills our restlessness and turmoil and helps us reconnect with ourselves and appreciate the world around us. My goal is to bring peace and a little bit of whimsy to paper and cheer up someone in a small way. Through my artwork I try to capture some of the beauty of the natural world and share it with you!
