Yeah, definitely a folk-art feel to it.  Terrific!

Thanks Sean!  I hope to do a pop art block print of the more famous Topstone masks next.  I'm also thinking about doing a Jaymar puzzle box type painting.

Well, I've worked on this project off and on since last winter.  I took the left over material that my students use to do block printing and cut miniature plates of the more popular Topstone masks.  So I ended up with 16 images.  I printed each on a 4"x4" sheet of paper and then mounted them on a 20"x20" black background.  I think of it as Pop Art Topstones.  Let me say some of the mask images were a challenge to carve. I love the iconic drawing of the Topstones and tried to stay faithful to the original images.  If anyone would be interested in a very limited edition of this print I would be glad to pull some more.  I'll put up a thread in Monsters for Sale.

Thanks for the kind words Monolith, Lappys22, and Artman 666!  I enjoyed working on the Topstone prints.

Artman, the Ash painting is fantastic!  It looks as if it would be used for either a bookcover or a movie poster.

i did a bit of that back in school and enjoyed it a lot, i would be very interested in purchasing a set of those when they are available
