So, because the opening of the 23rd Annual International Small Print Show was such a smash hit,
we've replaced all the sold prints with new ones, and hope you'll continue to come by to view and shop through the month of January.
|
 Believe it or not, these were made by two KIDS, brothers Juan and Jesus Arriaga Silva
(13 and 15 years old), under the guidance of Artemio Rodriguez at his
studio in Michoac�n.
We assumed the prints were made by adults, so when Artemio filled us in,
we just had to see a picture:
Jes�s Arriaga Silva, "U de Urraca", Linocut, $30
Juan Arriaga Silva, "P de Perro", Linocut, $30  Artemio Rodriguez, "D de dinosaurio", linocut, $40
