Description: A black and white print featuring hideously whimsical creatures. There is a dog with a pig-snout nose howling at a moon with large eyes and missing teeth--all set against a stary sky. Around the dog is a sad flower, a flying insect, and a cat wearing some sort of checked shirt with a mouse sitting on it. Behind the dog, on the left side of the piece is some weird monster-type figure with big eyes and perhaps a flower in its hair. Your imagination is the best description of this piece. By Jim Parrot's; woodblock print; 11.25 x 17.5; 1981-85 A welder by trade with a master's degree in printmaking from the San Francisco Art Institute, Bulwinkle tickles us with his outrageous characters. Dogs and cats, suns and moons, birds, boats, worms, fish, people come to life in the most zany of situations.

Material: Printmaking Woodblock print The woodcut is the earliest of the printmaking techniques. Developed in Asia, it was introduced to the West in the early decades of the fifteenth century. Woodcuts are relief prints and take advantage of the grain of the wood into which the image is cut. Ink is applied by rolling or daubing on to the raised areas and the paper applied to the wet surface. The paper is then pressed against the block and the ink is transferred to the paper. Since the print is the reverse image of the block, the image must be conceived in reverse. (OAC documentation)
