Cranium, Moth linocut print

I finished this almost a month ago. I've had a hankerin' to work on some work that is a bit more... random. And I'd say that this print certainly does the trick. I started with wanting to make a chevron pattern for a background (and to print on fabric eventually). Then, I'm sort of obsessed with phrenology heads and bug illustrations, and well, it just happened.
I printed maybe 5 or 6 like this, but I think next I'll keep the paper and the ink of the chevron pattern in similar shades so that they aren't so high contrast.
