This is the first of a short series of linocut prints honoring the inauguration of Barack Obama. I am posting it, and the others here because I cannot presently update my website.

This is a not so good picture of the 6 pendant designs I will have ready by 12/15 for my debut at the Downtown Holiday Market. Each piece comes inside a velvet pouch inside a tin canister bearing the same artwork. $45 each. Only 20 pieces total are available so if you want one contact me and I'll reserve it for you.
Each artwork is 4'x4'; oil on sliced and reassembled canvas. The composition was borrowed from Andy Warhol's flower series and modified for my own experiment. One of the pieces was commissioned. Due to the nature of the sliced technique there was born from it a second piece. Both of them are now happily going to the same home, as perfect compliments to each other. Cheers!

Measuring and cutting has proven to be a challenge. With the help of a sheet of drywall as backing, the cutting shall commence shortly.
