Quick the Donkey

The donkey's name was Quick.

His front hooves were neat and dexterous and opposable, and his back hooves were the size of dinner plates and had unassuming steel shoes.

In retrospect, it needed a bit more contrast on the breast, but of course that's the trouble with carving--you can take away as much as you want, but you can't put it back once it's gone!

I'll be selling these for $15 apiece--I don't yet know the edition size, but if you'd like to sign up for one, head on over to my blog at [link] where there'll be a sign up post. (Demand has been exceeding supply on these, so I've been selling 'em by random drawing of names...)

I love her facial expression. Kudos to you; woodblock isn't an easy medium to pull off.

lovely. expresses rather well my overall feeling these past few days despite the supposedly idyllic time known as spring break.

I rather like that you printed this instead of using your usual media.
