First Litho

[Eagle Hollow]

Thanks to all you Gurus and the info you have posted, I finally took the leap and tried my first lithograph. I'm in the process of recovering from the shock of actually producing one that is usable. I am indebted to all you forum members who share with selflessness.

I am working with my friends at the Crazy Horse Memorial to find a market nitch for this litho and other carvings representing their work carving this mountain. I am open and welcoming any ideas and suggestions that you all may have. I appreciate any input you may have.

Thanks

Jerry,

The litho looks great.
When I first saw your new avatar, I thought it was me (a few years ago!), I think that I have a photo of me that looks very similar - so long ago.....

Ken,

That's me, six years old, trying to fix my little red wagon. In 1948 you either fixed it or didn't have one. By the way, I still have that wagon with the hard rubber tires worn down to the metal rims. Some of my 14 grandkids have enjoyed a ride or two in it.
