Not Now, I’m Busy Talking to the Sun. No, the Moon! No, the Sun. Monotype Letterpress Block Print

Sold Out

This was my nod to the eclipse that happened here on April 8, 2024. My city (Rochester, NY) was in the path of totality, and there was so much excitement leading up to that day. It was fun to see my whole community (as well as so many others across the country) collectively excited. In the end, we didn't get to see the actual sun or moon due to heavy cloud cover, but totality was absolutely wild, and I'm so grateful I was able to experience it! Yay for nature!

Grackles can be a very divisive bird. Personally, I am so intrigued by them. Their physical presence is so striking- shiny black elongated body and tail, metallic blue/green head and those piercing yellow eyes! I've fortunately never been inundated by them (probably part of the reason I love them), but I do have a few that awkwardly attempt to feed from my bird feeder. Some are skittish, some brazen, but no matter what they always have lots to say.

Each monotype is a unique, one-of-a-kind print. The background layers are made without the use of a press, then the gold circle and grackle are printed on a press. Even then however, I am sometimes manipulating the ink after it has been printed.

If you are interested in purchasing this monotype, please email me directly (chris (at) moonrabbitpress.com). Because they are truly one of a kind, I don't want to risk selling one at a show while someone is also buying the same print online!

Please Note: At the moment, all monotypes are flush mounted to mat board, and framed in an 18x24" frame. Price includes shipping to the lower 48 US states.
