Well a-cock-a-doodle-doo and a cluck, Cluck, CLUCK!
This new chicken print has us all excited!!!

Country Chicken Art Print. 12.5″ x 9.5″, 2 Color Relief Print. BUY IT HERE >>>

Well if’n this friendly chicken ain’t the cutest little feller!
This was a labor of love and an homage to our backyard, egg laying friends.

Here are some pics from the process as well as a short video whilst printing:

We started things off with the initial artwork…

then transferred it to the stamp block and got to carving!

It was off to the races, 1st layer, carved and printed!

Here’s a close up…

Decided to add another color… a touch of red…

With the red done, it was back to the original block,
carving the 3rd/final layer from the initial yellow block.

Inking up the final block… onward and upward…

…and YEE-HAW! We have a chicken print!

Here are our little friend drying on the racks!

Oh, and here’s that video of the printing process…

We couldn’t be happier with the way this print worked out!
Keep on the Sunny Side!!!

New Print!!! New Print!!! New Print!!! “It’s like an electric guitar going off in my heart!!!”

February 11, 2015February 11, 2015 | onthetrolley77

Ever enjoyed something for yourself that was truly awesome?

…watched a friend reach their goal, accomplished one of your own,
or watched your kiddo score his first goal in the ever intensified sport
that is little league soccer?

If you have… you know the feeling…

Print measures 12.5″ wide x 9.5″ tall. Actual artwork measures 9″ wide x 4.25″ tall.
2 Color Print, Dark Brown and Red on French Paper 100# Cover, Pure White.

While names have been changed, what you’re about to read is a true story.

It was a beautiful spring day, birds were chirping, turtles were sleeping,
and little Spike Johnson had just taken the field. He was excited, he was
nervous, but above all, he was determined.

He had been to every practice, was wearing his lucky shark tooth necklace,
and had eaten a big bowl wheaties, He approached the game that day with
confidence and went forth with a fire in his belly to score his first goal.

With thunder in his foot and the speed of a puma he chased the “polyester
and/or cotton bonded (laminated)” ball and struck it with all the power that
his seven year old frame could muster……

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!

That’s right folks, all the hard work had paid off. Spike Johnson had scored
his first goal.

To this day, no one really remembers who won the game that beautiful spring day.
They do remember how spike felt though. When asked by reporters (Spikes Mom)
how it felt to have finally scored his first goal, Spike replied how only Spike could…

“IT WAS LIKE AN ELECTRIC GUITAR GOING OFF IN MY HEART!!!”

So, whatever your goal, whatever your accomplishment, we hope you will enjoy this
new print from onthetrolley. May it connect you to your past successes, remind you
to celebrate the awesome things in life, and inspire you to share those stories as you
keep reaching for the stars and scoring those GOOOOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLSSS!!!
