It’s International Zebra Day! Zebras are such an obvious temptation to the printmaker, considering how to depict life in black and white. They are inherently so graphic in their very skin. Though they aren’t striped any which way. This hand-pulled linoleum block print juxtaposes two varieties of zebra, Grévy’s (left) and Burchell’s, back to back.
A throwback to my linocut zebras 🦓 for #InternationalZebraDay
Zebras are such an obvious temptation to the printmaker, considering how to depict life in black & white. They are inherently so graphic in their very skin. Though they aren't striped any which way. This linocut juxtaposes 2 varieties of zebra, Grévy's & Burchell's, back to back. The one on the left is Grevy's zebra & on right is Burchell's zebra.

Grevy's #zebra is an #endangered species, with only around 2800 individuals left in the wild - so we were very lucky to spot this foal on one of our #CameraTraps.
