Méfiez-vous de la contrefaçon! (drying)

This is a lino block print in black and turquoise on feathered Obonai Japanese paper. It is embellished with pen and ink in green. Inspired by a crazed French postcard with an old ad which reads, "Méfiez-vous de la contrefaçon!". You might translate it as "Accept no substitutes" if you wanted to be snappy, but it is more like, "Be suspicious of counterfeits!"

 

You can spot counterfeits by such subtle clues as inverted letters.
