Read my blog post about the creation of this print.
Decided early on to once again go with a Happy New Year card, rather than a Happy Holidays card, this year. Despite the early decision, I didn’t put knife to linoleum until after the new year, so the cards went-out a bit late. Regardless, I was still happy with how they turned-out, especially the sort of random way I went about the different combinations of colors, which will be applied the Happy Birthday cards this year.
The print was based-on a woodblock print by Andrew Walko, which was one of a series depicting the Chinese New Year.
