Did you know that starting in the mid-1800s in places like France and England, modernist books (and therefore sinful ones, according to the mores of the time) were printed with yellow covers? Newspapers covering the arrest of Oscar Wilde for gross indecency (i.e. homosexuality) noted that he was holding a yellow book, providing proof of his depravity. May you read yellow books, too!

Limited edition

This is a limited edition of 50 "variable edition" (VE) prints, individually numbered and signed.

"Variable edition" means that print you receive may not be exactly as shown in the photos. Each print is unique due the handmade nature of printmaking, which produces subtle differences based on the alignment of the paper and linocut, ink coverage and pressure while printing.

When printing, I keep the environment in mind

I use:

• real linoleum sheets that are made from all-natural materials like wood pulp and linseed oil, and are fully biodegradable

• Cranfield’s Caligo Safe Wash Relief Inks, which are oil-based but don’t require harmful solvents to clean up after printing

• heavyweight, fine-textured paper that is acid-free, meaning it uses fewer chemical agents during manufacturing and won’t yellow or break down over time

• as little packaging as possible to ensure the print arrives to you safely.
