5x7 Desert Roadrunner with a Moon Linocut Art Print

The roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico and one of the most beloved birds in the southwest. It was chosen for its deep cultural significance and strong association with the southwestern landscape. Roadrunners perfectly represent the resilient, clever, and hardy spirit of the region's desert ecosystem.

DETAILS: PRINT ONLY — FRAME NOT INCLUDED Frame shown for display purposes.

SIZE: 5x7 inch / 12.7 x 17.8 cm paper. Hand-printed on white Strathmore Printmaking Paper (120 g/m²) See my shop for additional variations of the roadrunner print. I have a roadrunner print in an 8x10 and 11x14 size and also prints with a red sun instead of a yellow moon. Ink is black and yellow water-based Speedball ink. Signed by the artist. Each print is slightly different because I hand-print and mix the color of the sun for each print.

PROCESS: First, a creative idea comes to mind. Then I draw a sketch onto my block and carve it out by hand using block print tools. Then I roll the water-based ink onto the block with my rubber brayer. The printing part is my favorite and that, too is done by hand. Each print is individually inked and pulled by hand, then signed by me.

PLEASE NOTE: Each print is handmade so there may be slight variations. That is what makes each one unique! The colors may vary slightly due to different screen settings. Any frames you see are not included.

SHIPPING: They are lovingly packaged in an acid-free protective sleeve with two pieces of backing board in a hard mailer. Please review my shipping policies prior to ordering.
