Eight Maids A-Milking

This was the hardest of the 12 days.

I just couldn't figure out how to get 12 cows on a page, and then I thought that maybe it was more like a lightbulb joke. How many maids does it take to milk a cow? Eight. One to milk it, and seven to... (I'll leave it up to the reader).

A twelve part series in ink

I did a series of 12 drawings based on the classic twelve days of Christmas Carol. The drawings are all in pen and brush and ink. I'm selling prints of each of the drawings.

These archival prints are gorgeous.

I print these myself using a top-of-the-line Epson printer on Hahnemuhle German Etching paper. The paper is thick and has a nice texture to it. The ink is lightfast and tested to last for 200 years. The original is 12" x 9" but I print these slightly smaller at 11" x 8.5" so they fit in standard inexpensive frames.
