Anima, detail, by Amy Crook
This is another print, this time a photo etching that uses a photograph I took of the model I painted in tiger stripes. As far as I know he never did get the tattoo, but I really enjoyed having the stripey version of him to use for my art.
I printed these in an edition of 5, and I have 3 left, though one of them’s got some decorative fingerprints in the whitespace. I mixed up a rich velvety purple ink and printed onto a very soft, thick watercolor paper, and the result is an image that has a certain glow about it as the details fuzz into each other just a little. The shadows are thick but his hair still glows in a cascade of curls where the light hits it.

These prints are on thick, soft paper that will require a matte or frame to display. I’m happy to frame one for you for a small additional fee.

Year of the Tiger by Amy Crook, $299
2010 is going to be year of the Tiger in Chinese astrology. I painted this homage to Henri Rousseau for the cover of the 2010 Starcycles Calendar — every year the cover is by far the most enjoyable part of this big project for me. This time, when we were talking about themes for the year, Georgia brought up Rousseau’s famous Tiger in a Tropical Storm, and from there a painting was born.
Year of the Tiger, 9″x12″, oil on canvas board, $299 with free shipping.
