How this print was made...

Many years ago I discovered a stash of old, curled up and yellowing medicine bottle labels at an ephemera fair.

I used them to create an edition of 100 prints, each one made from a collage of actual, original medicine bottle labels, so every print was completely unique. The words and image of the dog were carved into a lino plate and printed by hand over the top of each individual collage on an etching press.

If you'd like to find out more about how this print was made, you can read more on my blog.
