Daisy, the Princess Bulldog

,

I actually have a series of three prints of Daisy planned. This is obviously the first one. Here are photos of the sketching, carving, and test prints of different colors.

These are the original sketches to get the layout and work out some of the details. The last one is the drawing in reverse on the lino with marker.

I spent four days carving her out!

This is the first inking of Daisy. I used marker on the lino for the carving so its harder to see the ink.

This is the first pull of the bulldog print. I did some touch up carving after this before the final prints but it looked pretty good.

Bulldogs in burnt siena, dark brown, and black. It's fun to see the difference.

Here is one of the final prints signed and framed.
