MINDS of THEIR OWN handmade print

Description: "Minds of Their Own" is an original handmade block print of a Giant Pacific Octopus moving in her ocean environment with each of her eight legs seemingly doing its own thing. It turns out that sometimes things ARE as they seem. Giant Pacific Octopuses have nine brains: a central brain, which controls the nervous system, and a small brain in each of its eight arms. That means each tentacle can work independently but also together with the other tentacles to reach a main goal. 

Great Gift: Perfect for that person in your life who is a fan of octopuses, sea creatures, or collaboration.

2024 Take Action Print: I will donate all the proceeds from sale of this print in 2024 to https://represent.us/. After much research and consideration, I've decided to support Represent Us's local approach to big change.

Printmaking Process: This two-color, two-block print is a variable open edition, which means I intend to print many of them in a variety of colors. That approach makes it possible for me to not only explore different color combinations, but I can also sell it for less than limited edition prints. It is printed on archival and acid-free white paper, the smooth finish of which takes the lightfast ink beautifully.

Archival Mounting Option: This print can be bought on its own or mounted between a mat and foam board, ready to be inserted in a 8x10 in. frame. All mounting materials are acid-free and archival.

Unmounted Print Dimensions:

• Paper = 9.5x7.5 in. / 24.13x19.05 cm
  
• Image = 6.9x5.5 in. / 17.53x14 cm
  
• Image with signature showing = 6.9x5.8 in. / 17.53x14.7 cm
