Mr Hare and His Flowers Print
Alex Quirk
Printmaking linocut
10”h x 8”w 

This original linocut piece is hand carved and printed in Speedball rich, satiny water-based green ink on tan Stonehenge paper made by the US based Legion Paper company that has been creating quality fine art papers since 1974. The paper is high-quality 100% cotton-based, acid free, and chlorine free.

Printmaking Process: Each print is drawn directly onto the wood or linoleum block then the white space is carefully carved out by hand. After being carved, the block is inked with a roller, hand-pulled and placed in a lever style press with specialty paper, details are finished with a hand baren, then set out to dry. Because of this process, each print is a unique variation and unlike any other print from the same block - making each a true original. 

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!
