This design is a slight departure for me. I usually work in an 1800s Ukiyo-e style, but in this case, I adopted an Art Nouveau aesthetic specifically inspired by the Russian illustrator Ivan Bilibin.  

Art Nouveau was a European illustration movement from the late 1800s and early 1900s. Art historians have drawn a direct line connecting Japanese Ukiyo-e and Art Nouveau. The heavy emphasis on line, flat color and stylized graphical elements share a very close resemblance to late Ukiyo-e art. 

NOTE - You can choose between two paper types for your print:

1) Handmade Japanese Paper: Created by the Kikuchi Studio in Ehime Japan, this paper features a lovely mulberry texture and rough deckled edges. The overall effect makes our giclée prints look like real historical Japanese prints. I'm very proud of these!

2) Western Paper: This is a high quality 80 lb cover paper, similar to hot press watercolor paper. My art prints look stunning on its smooth, matte finish. This is the paper I usually bring to conventions, so if you have purchased art from me at a live event, you probably have this paper style.

Every print is signed by the artist.
Measures 12x17 inches.

FRAMING:

This print looks great in a standard 16 x 20 frame (US, Canada) or 40 x 50 cm (everywhere else).

Inside the frame, you can place your print over a sheet of colored paper for a lovely effect. Canson makes textured paper in many colors. It looks great at a low price. Here's a link.
