Detail of an Ostentation of Peacocks

A group of peacocks is called, for obvious reasons, an ostentation. This is my linocut print of 'An Ostentation of Peacock. It is printed in metallic and pearlescent inks on Japanese kozo (or mulberry) paper 12.5 inches by 8 inches, in a slightly variable edition of eight.

 

The word 'Ostentation' is in a rather rococco and ostentatious typeface. I designed the font of 'Peacocks' to echo the feathers shapes and eyes.
