Have you ever ridden an alpine slide?

I had not until a few weeks ago when I rode the one in Gatlinburg, TN. It was so much fun and it inspired me to start a set of prints based on the attractions in Gatlinburg. The first one is of course the alpine slide:

We now want to seek out and ride all the alpine slides left in existence! Kind of like the people that visit all the major league baseball parks I guess...

Aloha Monkey

Aloha Monkey Print



Aloha Monkey Print Linoleum Block


I did this print just for fun, but it turned out so good that I went ahead and put in on Etsy! This is based on a great old piece of tattoo flash. I included a look at both the print and the linoleum block. Aloha!

Another Motel Print

Here is the next print I attempted in the series of motel prints I just started. I again printed on brown and white card stock -- and I still like the white version better. I could have done better with the use of negative space I think in this one, but it was more difficult than the first motel print to pick the right elements to transfer from a photograph.
