New print: Greek jug

I have a new print available: Greek jug. 
It was inspired by a stroll through the fabulous Attic Black figure vases collection at the ROM.

It is a signed print from an edition of 40. 

It is 40.00 and can be purchased in my shop.

I plan on creating 3 more for a series. I think they'd look great framed together as a grouping of 2 of 4.  Below are some pics of the printing process. ps. You can also find these shots on my instagram.
