"California Keeper" is a marriage of the words of the California legislature with Eric's California Rising linocut.
We can print up to 44” wide on most of our designs, so contact us for a quote if you need a specific size.
This print, and all the prints in the “Rewitzer Reproductions” collection, begins with photographs (typically his own) that Eric hand-transfers onto a piece of linoleum (or wood). Using Japanese wood-carving tools, it takes Eric anywhere from 40-80 hours just to carve a plate. Once he’s achieved his desired, we scan Eric’s original prints to a create high quality digital reproduction, which we then print with8-color archival inks on archival bright white heavyweight paper. The result is beautiful and vibrant, and every digital print is is signed and embossed by Eric.
Eric was born and raised on the industrial shores of Lake Michigan. He
took the California Zephyr from Chicago to San Francisco in 1987. It
was a one-way ticket. Eric finds constant inspiration in the natural
variation of the California landscape and the diversity of Californian
culture. You can find more of his work in the “Woodcuts and Linocuts”
collection, as well as the “Creature Feature”, “Go By Train, and “Ports”
collections.
As a native Californian, and a lover of bears, I have always loved all things California bear related! Moved to Minnesota 16 years ago and love it here, but California will always be home. And I am always so proud of my home state. So this print with the beautiful grizzly and the perfect quote is just great. Beautiful quality and will look great framed.
