Year of the Dog Series, Print No. 4: Shih Tzu

This linoprint is the fourth in my Year of the Dog series. The art celebrates the Shih Tzu, a dog of Chinese royalty known as the Chrysanthemum Dog. The artwork is inspired by ceramics and carvings of East Asia.

The print comes in three variations:
1. Simple black on white stock — just like Shih Tzus in real life!
2. Gradation with blue to dark-blue on off-white stock (it's inspired by Chinese ceramics)
3. Gradation with dark green to earth-red on warm-grey stock (like a tea-tan color)

Specifications:

The white paper (with simple black print) is machine made and has a smooth finish.
The other two papers are hand-made with a deckle edge.

This is a limited print; there are 12 made total.

Colors are mixed by hand and rolled into smooth gradients. Prints are individually pulled by hand from a press. Because of these manual production processes, please expect unique textures and/or minor differences in each print.

Dimensions
• ~11 inch (~27,9 cm) wide
• ~14 inch (~35,5 cm) tall

For shipping, the print will be slipped inside an acid-free, archival protective sleeve and packed with a piece of sturdy board.

Each print is signed.
