Description: 

from original linocut designed and carved by hand. A linocut print is made by:

first, hand-carving a design into linoleum mounted on a block of wood;

second, inking the block; and finally, pressing the block onto a printable

surface.

About the artist: 

As a professional, Derrick works on environmental clean up projects because

caring for the environment is one of his greatest passions. As an artist, he

empathizes with elephants because he too has big ears and eats a plant-based

diet. His favorite elephant fact is that elephants wear sunscreen. His interest in

printmaking began when he attended a printmaking street fair and he joined the

kids at the linocut activity booth. He enjoys print making because he sees it as an

art form that is social and easy to share with friends. He is also a singer,

songwriter, and aspiring fashion designer.”
