Lone Mountain, Nevada

An Angry Scorpion

Esmeralda County's Lone Mountain stands proudly to the southeast of Pilot Peak and west of Tonopah. It always grabs my attention because, as the desert sun rakes across it, geometric shadows come and go all day long. On this day it was blistering hot and I had to deal with an angry scorpion. We eventually came to an agreement and did things my way.

Unlike most "prints" available today, this is a unique piece of art created by hand, from the freehand drawing and the carving of the blocks of wood for each color, to the meticulous inking of the blocks before pressing them onto each sheet of cotton, acid-free paper (Stonehenge, made in America by Legion Paper and prized by printmakers for its permanent qualities). Lone Mountain is made from seven blocks.

It includes custom conservation framing under glass, all done by Craig, and it's ready to ship within 24 hours.
