'Spirit of the Wild Wood' Giclée Print
I usually work in a Japanese Ukiyo-e aesthetic, but I also occasionally dabble in other styles. This piece is inspired by the great Russian designer, Ivan Bilibin. Bilibin was a genius at depicting epic scenes from folklore, always adding his unique Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts sensibilities.
In this design, I'm paying homage to a world that's rooted in Eastern European, and especially Polish mythology. Bilibin's illustrations of Slavic mythology were a gold mine of inspiration for me. I hope you enjoy this design as much as I did drawing it!
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).
