Linoprint: '2010'

My fiancée Fiona is a photographer and one of the marvellous things she does is produce 'Family mosaic photos', huge prints containing a combination of old and new photographs in one place. We have one of our family here:
Note the date lies in the bottom corner and it is for this dating purpose that I have cut a new linoprint for this year. Just for fun, I've included a couple of icons of 2010 (I know, it's barely begun) that mean something at least to us UK residents. The sharp-eyed will see the door to number 10 Downing Street next to the number 1 and the Eyjafjallajökull volcano inside the zeros. Water-based ink on 96gsm cartridge.
