<p>Original, hand-pulled, limited edition, numbered and signed prints from a set of 2 individual etched copper plates.</p>
<p>Each one is done by hand, so there will be slight variances.  Printing inks and textures may vary.  Also, paper color may be white or cream.</p>
<p>I also sell them matted ($50) and/or framed ($100-300).  If interested, please contact me for info.</p>
<p>I won a t-shirt contest with a variation of this image.  They sold out with 2,735 shirt sales.  To see the shirt, <a href="http://shirt.woot.com/Friends.aspx?k=7296">click here</a>. (note&#8211;I had nothing to do with the lame write-up.)</p>

	</p><p>With a set of stilts, this little giraffe almost fits right in with the crowd of giraffes!</p>
<p>Original, hand-pulled, limited edition, numbered and signed prints from a set of 2 individual etched copper plates.<br />
I had to run in through the press 3 times because I used the same giraffe plate 3 times.  That means there is a great risk of ruining the print&#8230;.if the plate is not lined up just right, or the paper or the plate slips as I crank it through, or if the ink isn&#8217;t wiped the same on each one.</p>
<p>Each one is done by hand, so there will be slight variances.  Printing inks and textures may vary.  Also, paper color may be white or cream.</p>
<p>I also sell them matted ($105) and/or framed ($175-300).  If interested, please contact me for info.</p>
