'Space Cowboy' Giclée Print
When I adapt a scene into Ukiyo-e, I usually translate all the scene's elements into an 1800s Edo period style.
However, for this particular print I decided to work in the modern Shin-hanga style, which is known for its realism and much more complex color schemes.
Because of this, I did not adapt the design of the costuming, cityscape or spaceships. Instead I wanted to focus on the world as it is presented.
The right cartouche reads スペース・カウボーイ, which translates to "Space Cowboy".
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).
