Framed in an upcycled frame, this linocut was hand carved and printed by the artist Ben Brockman @brockchop. It is signed and numbered in an edition of 10. “Cotinis nitida, commonly known as the green June beetle, June bug or June beetle, it is a beetle of the family Scarabaeidae. It is found in the eastern United States and Canada, where it is most abundant in the South. It is sometimes confused with the related southwestern species figeater beetle Cotinis mutabilis, which is less destructive. The green June beetle is active during daylight hours. The adult is usually 15–22 mm (0.6–0.9 in) long with dull, metallic green wings; its sides are gold and the head, legs and underside are very bright shiny green. Their habitat extends from New Brunswick to Georgia, and as far west as California, with possible population crossover in Texas with their western cousin, the figeater beetle.“ #scarabidae #cotinisnitida #junebug #greenjunebeetle #greenbeetle #linocut #linoleumprint #tucsonartist #tucsonart #sonorandesert #insectillustration #insectart #boho #bohochic #bohostyle #farmhousestyle #eclecticdecor #ephemera #ephemeralart (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq37u5aPsTR/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Original framed linocut. Hand printed, signed and numbered in an edition of 10. The frame is wall or shelf mount ready. From National Geographic: “Tardigrades are microscopic eight-legged animals that have been to outer space and would likely survive the apocalypse. Bonus: They look like adorable miniature bears. Around 1,300 species of tardigrades are found worldwide. Considered aquatic because they require a thin layer of water around their bodies to prevent dehydration, they’ve also been observed in all kinds of environments, from the deep sea to sand dunes. Freshwater mosses and lichens are their preferred habitat, hence their nickname, moss piglet. Despite looking squishy, tardigrades are covered in a tough cuticle, similar to the exoskeletons of grasshoppers, praying mantises, and other insects to which they are related.“ https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/invertebrates/facts/tardigrades-water-bears #tardigada #tardigrades #tardigade #waterbears #waterbear #mosspiglet #kleinerwasserbär #linocut #printmaking #linoleum #linoblockprint #blockprinting #blockprint #natureillustration #ephemera #ephemeralart #science #scienceillustration #fundecor #vintagestyle #boho #bohochic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cq34_lIveaV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I unearthed one more of these #mantids! This one on eastern paper. Hand carved and printed wood block print - handcolored, signed and framed in vintage frame. Created by Ben Brockman in his Tucson studio. . “As a good luck charm, the Praying Mantis is widely accepted. It's a sign that you'll have a good run of things. You can look forward to some good fortune in the near future, in a variety of forms. It is also a symbol of peace, focus, and concentration because of the Praying Mantis' appearance.” . . #tucsonartist #southwestart #mantid #mantodea #mantis #prayingmantis #insectart #insectillustration #woodcut #reliefprint #reliefprinting #blockprint #natureillustration #illustration #printmaking #etsyshop #trusteez #farmhousestyle #azstyle #mantisofinstagram #farmhousechic #woodcutart #bohostyle #bohodecor (at Tucson, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmUzPgByH1g/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
