This is a two-color woodcut I made for my son, Christopher, for his documentary film, "Chasing Bubbles." The film is about a friend of Christopher's, Alex Rust, who quit his job as a trader on the Chicago Board of Trade, taught himself how to sail, bought a boat and sailed around the world in about three years. I never met Alex but he was a huge risk taker. He later died at the age of 28 in India. My image of Alex shows him sailing off into the evening sky on his sailboat, Bubbles, bound for new adventures in a new life. The title of the print, Bubbles Floatin', is taken from a quote from Alex in the movie. Check it out on www.youtube/chasingbubbles.
