Porcupine

Porcupines are known for damaging fruit trees as well as disturbing gardens and have often been seen as pests. However, current wildlife research shows that porcupines give more than they take. Porcupines’ tree pruning opens the forest canopy and allows sunlight to stimulate plant growth on the forest floor. The felled trees and bark debris that porcupines leave in their wake provide habitat for other animals, such as insects and birds. And porcupines’ penchant for digging in the dirt improves the flow of water and nutrients in soil. Our Porcupine print pays homage to these special creatures. Made with water-based inks and acid-free, 100% cotton paper, Porcupine is a limited edition, linocut print that is printed by hand in New York City. The subtle variations that result from hand printing make each print one of a kind. Imperfections, such as uneven ink coverage and waves in the paper ground, are inherent to our block printing process and are part of its beauty. Dimensions: 13” x 17” Artwork comes unframed and packaged in a rigid mailer to prevent damage during transit. Prints will ship in 7-10 business days. All sales are final.
