Thrasher Wheat – copper to 11

For me, there is no other animal that so dramatically symbolizes the West like a bison. I was surprised when I looked back thru my work that I’d only used the animal once before on a Neil Young print from 2011.  My thought is that a lone bison has a weight, a gravity and a history unlike anything else I can think of.

I’ve been experimenting lately with elaborate under printing textures that can be seen and are slightly raised thru the black ink on the surface of the print.  Have a look in person.  Also of note: I took some stylistic inspiration from Majora’s Mask for the tribal feeling corner elements.
