This is the start of something BIG! Literally! I am fully committed to making large scale multicolor narrative woodcuts. It's been too long, there have been too many distractions, but now it begins!  I wanted to start this year off strong so I revisited a Classic! Bertha the Clown is one of my all-time favorites, and I love this bigger, more colorful,  and ornate  version even more!
 This  print is part of my Jimmy the Pope Suite which tells the story of an 8 year old boy who becomes the new Pope! It is a story I wrote after a found a collection  of slides from the 1960's at a thrift store about 25 years ago. You can see the slide below as well as the original much smaller, and out of print Bertha the Clown from 2004
  I'm opening up five preorder slots - these preordered prints are $500 and will be completed in the month of March, after that the price will be $750 for the remainder of the edition.
