“Opera has the power to warn you that you have wasted your life. You haven't acted on your desires. You've suffered a stunted, vicarious existence. You've silenced your passions. The volume, height, depth, lushness, and excess of operatic utterance reveal, by contrast, how small your gestures have been until now, how impoverished your physicality; you have only used a fraction of your bodily endowment, and your throat is closed.”

— Wayne Koestenbaum, The Queen’s Throat: Opera, Homosexuality, and the Mystery of Desire.

Hello! I'm so proud to finally present you the artwork with all the Perissodactyla order including its subspecies (Rhinos, Tapirs, and Horses). Took me more than a year to finish but I am really happy with the result. The artwork includes the common name, its Latin name, and its conservation status. 46 animals in total of which 10 are sadly already extinct.

Here is the link in case you are interested:https://www.inprnt.com/.../all-perissodactyla-species.../

Thank you for your support!

Wip.

Someone asked me the other day if I transfer images to the blocks I want to carve and the answer is no. Every print is essentially 3 separate art pieces, all sketched and done directly on the block. The pencil layout, which establishes the composition, the ink layout which sets up the loose guidelines I follow, and then finally, the carving itself, which is a completely different part of my brain to the last two stages.
