Wood block print of a serpent and griffin from the 12c Tournai font.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can't believe that I forgot to reverse the design of this study and drew direct onto the wood for cutting.

The print is 18cm x 12cm. It has two colours in the reduction method and the edition of 10 uses various papers. The block is cherry wood and printed with Lawrence's linseed oil inks.

I have since seen elsewhere beasts that are two headed. This may be a two headed griffin.
