Artist proof of Tougher Than Death

New to my Etsy Shop are these black and white, artist proofs (one off linocut prints that are signed but not yet part of an edition so marked ‘AP’) of ‘Tougher than Death‘. This print is about the eternal nature of the human soul. Each one is unique due to the printing process, creating a heavily textured finish. Click the image above for more detail.

Also now available are these one-off coloured versions, printed on hand-spray-painted backgrounds, layering multiple colours for an truly unique effect.

The coloured versions are listed and numbered individually, as they are all so different and one-off. It’s hard to see from these images alone, all the fine layering and colour blending. See more on each listings – click images or visit shop.chrisbourkeart.com.

All of the Tougher Than Death prints are printed on 80gsm 43x61cm Japanese paper.
