Feeling a little emotional this morning after dropping my very last “Madonna Del Ghisallo” linocut at the post office, off to a good home…
The original linocut, depicting the patron saint of cyclists, was created in 2017 in the form of prayer cards for the “Blessing of the Bicycles” ride at
@trinitystl . Since then, the image has graced tee shirts, bike jerseys, posters, stickers, and more. The “remixed” poster version was produced in 2019 for Haute Velo, a bicycle-themed poster show in Miami FL (thanks again,
@thesuperrookie !)
As the final poster heads out the door, I’m reflecting on how far my printmaking (and life!) journey has taken me since I first carved her in ’17. I think, perhaps, I have a certain patron saint watching over me…
Anyway, be on the lookout for some new and very exciting hand-printed, bike-themed ephemera coming off my press very soon! 🚴
