This linocut print depicts the retro wiggly plastic snake toys that I remember from my youth. Made with flexible joints that create a slithering movement when handled, they came in a variety of bright colours - here I've gone for blue with yellow markings and a red tongue. I love the idea of turning a throwaway plastic toy into a piece of art that you can keep forever, evoking nostalgia childhood memories.
Each of these prints has been produced by hand, from the initial designing and cutting of the lino to the inking and printing. As a result, small variations are inherent in the process, making each print unique with its own character and distinguishing marks. Each one is an original numbered piece of art.
The print will be wrapped and contained within a clear plastic wallet, and mailed in a hard backed envelope.
Sold unframed but will fit any standard A5 frame size.
