Andy Gove’s House woodblock print (magenta/blue)

Description

In Stonington, ME, Andy Gove is a legend. He began lobstering in 1937 when he was 7 years old and continued lobstering for 82 years. Andy died in June of 2020 and his relatives and the townspeople of Stonington paid tribute to him with a flotilla of boats on the harbor on July 12, 2020.

Andy Gove’s House, Stonington ME is a hand-printed woodblock print in a varied edition of 20 prints. The woodblock was printed in blue black ink on a 1930’s Poco proof press on 100% Savoy cotton rag paper. The unique color on each print is created by employing a rainbow roll technique* (a mixture of two colors plus tint base rolled onto a linoleum matrix). The linoleum matrix is registered to the existing print and the final prints are created using a Charles Brand etching press.  Each print is unique.  Prints have a white mat (with black core) and are available in either a black frame or white frame.

*Rainbow roll prints will vary slightly from print to print.
