My prints were inspired by my Portuguese Water Dog, Figo - named after the legendary Portuguese footballer. Figo is a constant source of amusement, relaxation and happiness and I wanted to create a series of handcrafted prints to remind us humans of the joy that comes from following 'the way of the dog'. The typographic style of the prints is inspired by early American show posters and Wild West Wanted posters and use original fonts from that era.

Full description
The Enlightened Hound linoprints celebrate the instinctive principles dogs follow for a simple and contented life. We humans can learn much from their canine wisdom!
The prints have been created using authentic fonts from original Wild West and US Civil War posters. The letters are hand carved onto lino printing plates, then each poster is individually hand-printed on acid free archival 170gsm printmaking paper with traditional linseed oil inks, using hand-mixed colours, inspired by the American Colonial era.
Each print used 4 different lino plates and three colours to produce. Each plate/colour is printed separately by hand.
The vintage style, slightly distressed lettering and the typographical style is reminiscent of old Wild West Wanted Posters and 19th century American Show Posters.
They work beautifully as a series or as a single print and will appeal to dog lovers everywhere. They make a great gift.
Prints are signed and editioned in sets of 250.
Paper size is 400 x 500 mm
Image size is 277 x 397 mm
Prints are sold unframed to save on postage costs and will fit in a standard 40x50cm ready made frame.
Postage cost quoted is for 1st class, signed-for service.
