Sometimes it's more fun to show the tension before a fight, rather than the fight itself. And in this case, maybe there won't be any fight at all...

This piece borrows heavily from Meiji Era artists like Ogata Gekko and Mizuno Toshikata. I adore their work, and it was a pleasure to learn from them.

Translation

The larger cartouche can be translated to "Metal Machine Solid".

The smaller cartouche translates to "The snake burrows deep, then strikes."

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

This print looks great in three standard 16 x 20 frames (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).
