CHIANG MAI, THAILAND - LINOCUT EDITION - SEPTEMBER 2012

I finally started cutting out my linocuts from my trip to Chiang Mai in September of 2012.
This is the first of the series and represents the process of printing an Artists Proof for me to make any adjustments for the eventual printing of the full edition.

"As promised, I rang in the new year last night by working on an art piece. I finished cutting the first lino from my most recen trip to Chiang Mai. This is a very special place to me, a shaded peaceful spot towards the back of Wat Phrasingh, where many young monks would gather to meet their friends, sometimes study and often, just hang out and enjoy the company of friends and curious foreigners. I showed up here on one of my last days to draw this piece while Phra's Kritsada Prueprung, Yee Vongpaseuth and Khamla Yotthavong were still in class."
