My newest Alaskan inspired print actually came from a roof in downtown Juneau but this woodcut is part of a series of cardinal directions so the title contains the word 'north'. This, for me traveling from Puerto Rico, is very North. I might not have noticed this salmon weather vane but there was one of Alaska's many ravens sitting below it. What could be more iconic for Alaska than a salmon and raven. In fact, I have another woodcut in the works... a raven (which I must have been in another life).

El grabado mas recien mio actualmente viene de un techo en el centro del pueblo de Juneau (Alaska) pero, como este grabado es parte de una serie de las direcciones cardinales, el titlo contiene la palabra 'norte'. Este, para mi viajando de Puerto Rico, es sumamente norte. Quizas no hubiera visto esta veleta de un salmon pero habia un cuervo sentado abajo. Que pudiera ser icono para Alaska que un salmon y un cuervo. En realidad, estoy cortando otro grabado en madera... un cuervo (que pienso que fuera en otra vida).

I love this. Very iconic indeed.
Thanks, Ellen... I was especially pleased with how this turned out, especially as it is really a very simple print.
