A Singular Violence Carving

If you’re a fan of hand-printed art and crisp black and white, I’m happy to share that, at last, the linocut print of A Singular Violence, the fifth piece from my North American Megafauna Project, is on my studio table.

Inspired by the flora and fauna of the American Southeast, A Singular Violence portrays the skull of a direwolf, Aenocyon dirus, with a spray of fire pinks protruding from jaws that, in life, were the most powerful of any known canid-like species.

The direwolf died out when the grey wolf migrated over from Eurasia in the late Pleistocene and took over their hunting grounds. Today, the fire pink flower, with its shockingly red blooms, is listed as endangered in several southeastern states, loss of habitat a major player in its shrinking numbers.

Printed with water-based ink on my preferred renewable bleached mulberry paper, A Singular Violence will be available as a limited edition 17” x 11” print in the Beastie and Bone shop update on June 29th, 2024! The full-color art print and recycled Kraft paper stickers will be restocked at this time, as well.

Be well,
