Zen Pod
'Zen Pod' was created with India Ink on watercolor paper.
To create these drawings, I meditate and then pick up my pen. Sometimes, they are finished in a few hours, sometimes in sessions over several days. The form or design grows out of my subconscious; the composition forms naturally, organically, as if it is an unknown variety of seed sprouting from my mind. I never know what the final bloom of ink will become.
This print is an archival, fine art Giclée created from a high-quality scan of my original watercolor and printed on Hahnemuhle Torchon art paper (description below).
Please note, this print has not been computer sanitized; you can see brush marks and the way watercolor reacts with the paper; if my hand shook from too much caffeine, it shows; if my cat bumped my elbow begging for attention, it shows. I'm a human creating art -- not a machine. A colossal print, like a 60x60" canvas, will boldly display this humanness.
Often, I don't sign the canvas of my abstract art pieces; I want to keep the balance and symmetry of the artwork but allow my clients to select multiple directions in which they can display the piece.
My original watercolor painting was on Arches paper.
This Giclée printing process uses archival quality pigmented inks and acid-free fine art paper to ensure that with proper care, they will look as good 100 years from now as they do today. I'm using the finest fine art printers available.
My unframed prints ship in a sturdy reinforced cardboard "crush-proof" tube that is twice as thick as anyone else in the industry to avoid damage to the art while in shipment.
The images in this listing are mockup examples of how this print can look in a living space in various sizes. Watermarks will not be on the final print.
Also available on ready-to-hang stretched canvas and framed.

Art In Home Size Test
An excellent way to see if the size of the print you are considering fits your wall space is to cut a piece of poster board or news paper to size and tape it to the wall to see if it is what you need for the space.
*If you are going to have the print matted and framed, add a minimum of 4" to each dimention for a frame. Add 8" if you plan to have a mat and a frame. Most custom mats start at 3" wide, a frame adds another inch or three depending on your tastes.Examples:
10"x10" print in a 2" frame would fill a 14"x14" space on the wall.
A 10"x10" print with a 3" mat with a 1/4"liner mat, plus a 2" wide frame, would be 20.25" x 20.25" as the finished framed art piece.3" (mat)+.25" (liner-mat) +2" frame
X 2 (sides) = 10.25
+10" (width of print)
= 20.25" width of framed print
Height on this example would be the same formula.
