Linocut by Ted Judy
(30in. x 24in.)
"The roosterfish is one of the most famous sport fish in the world. They grow large, are very powerful, and are notoriously challenging to catch. This is a fish found in the tropic zone of the Pacific side of the Americas, and the reason many anglers visit the Baja peninsula of Mexico every summer. This handmade print is a multi-block linocut relief print produced in three layers. The background layer of irregular blue shapes represents the sea, and was hand printed from unsanded pine plywood using very transparent ink. The second layer is printed from a block of linoleum cut to the shape of the roosterfish's body using translucent ink to mask the background blue. The last layer, the key block, is the black details of the fish that were hand-carved from another linoleum block with gouges and knives. The artist does not possess a printing press larger enough for this size paper, so all three layers were pressed to the paper by laboriously burnishing the back of the paper onto the inky blocks with a variety of barens and a wooden spoon. Due to the unpredictable nature of working with unsanded wood, every print in the edition will look noticeably different, so the entire edition is 'variable' with each print being unique. This limited edition of 25 original prints is made with high quality oil-based inks on Japanese masa paper. Giclée reproductions of this print will not be produced."
