Kelen's "Early Man" wins Purchase Award

On December 9th,
I was able to post:
So, I'm happy to announce,
my print, 
“Early Man,” 
has been accepted for inclusion in the Minot University 
Northwest Arts Center’s Americas 2018: Paperworks exhibition. 
 The juror was Linda Whitney.

And then, on February 14th, 2018

I posted:

"I'm REALLY HAPPY to announce 

that this print has won their purchase award!!

Early Man

This 18.5 x 14.25" print

 is printed by hand onto 20.5" x 17" Kitakata paper. 

It's a tight fit onto the paper, but it does fit well. 

Not a fan of matting, because it many times reminds me of too tight underwear, 

I would float this. 

It is the first of 12 that I've got lined up to keep me out of trouble.

Beginning of a WoodBlock print

Under the watchful eye of 7 Pound Betty, 

now occupying the position of studio Muse, 

I begin the first official block of the Garden of Eden project.
