Description
This is a VERY limited-edition hand-screen printed work of an African Land Snail at actual size!
The snail was pencil-drawn and inked by brush before being prepared for printing.
This is a two-colour work – the snail is black and its background is hot pink.
The print is numbered, named and signed in pencil – it is a strictly limited edition of five.
The print size is roughly 40cm x 27cm; the mount size is 40 x 50cm. The mount colour is cream and the backing board (unseen) is grey.
Paper: The print is on thick 180gsm gorgeous off-white heavily textured recycled paper made from elephant poo (yep, really). Don’t worry – it doesn’t smell!
Mounting: The print comes mounted with cream mount board as per the photo and wrapped in cellophane for protection. The mount size is a standard one, so getting an off-the-shelf frame for it should be simple.
NB because of the amount of ink used, the paper has warped just a little. This is visible in the shot of the numbering of the print. It should be barely noticeable on framing.
Postage is free and at present I only post to the UK.
If you’re a fan of gastropod molluscs there’s also this print as a single-colour work and some fabulous mating leopard slugs 🙂
