These stone lithograph prints are all created by the artist grinding the stone, drawing the image with a lithographic crayon, processing the image with acid and gum arabic, then inking and hand printing each individual print. Very small editions of only ten to twenty-five prints are created of each image.  Care is taken to make each print in the edition consistent, but each print is an individual work of art.
