Ostrich scratchboard -- one of a kind "Ozzie"

A funny fellow appears on this scratchboard in the form of an ostrich. I love the personality these birds show -- they seem to be smiling! I call this guy "Ozzie" and he's become a favorite of mine. This is probably the pose that best sets off Ozzie's cute, happy face. Perfect for the ostrich/bird lovers in your life!! Something a little quirky, fun and cute!

My artwork is made entirely with knives! This 5x7 inch etched scratchboard has been rendered line by line to create the image shown. The scratchboard is a Masonite hardboard covered in white clay and then topped off with india ink. Removing the black ink with sharp implements reveals the white below and creates the image shown. This process takes hours and is an exercise in precision. Check out my facebook page for works in progress to learn more about the process! Board to Art: from scratch

A print on metal in 5x7 inch size is also available!!! See the options for purchase!
