The image was hand carved onto a piece of 2x3ft linoleum, and originally printed at a steamroller printing event in Bryan, TX. After the event, I edited the design to its final state that you see here and printed it on an etching press on nice paper.

The paper size is 40"x26".

Only 12 prints total have been made and 10 of them will be available for sale. One at Galleria G, Helsinki, and online at www.picadoodlepress.com

Printed on 250 gsm 100%cotton Legion Lenox printmaking paper, which has a luxurious fluffy feel to it. If you would like to read a full blog post on making this print visit here: https://mirka-h.blogspot.com/2017/05/steamroller-printing-giant-linocut.html
