Print of an orca with a slight smile, swimming left. Blue ribbon-like swirls behind the animal remind of water.

Lumpy

Winter 2025. Relief Wood Cut. 6 x 4”

This is a digital version of the "Lumpy" block print of an orca. The orca is flipped horizontally from the print, has no blue-swirl background, but its light body parts have white swirls on them.

This is Lumpy, the orca. He is a stuffed animal that I am not allowed to touch most of the time because I get tempted to push in the fin.

Before carving the block, I rendered the orca’s shape digitally. The blue swirls I freehanded right onto the block. I revisited the digital drawing and added the bright swirls on his white belly.
