Title: Mayhem Y’all!
Artist: Susan James
Medium: Hand-colored Copperplate Photogravure (intaglio printmaking process)
Subject Matter: A playful, detailed scene unfolds around a lively game of Scrabble, where mischievous tiny elephants have taken over the table alongside a curious ginger cat peering from behind a bottle of Lazzaroni Amaretto. Scattered peanuts, espresso cups, and stacked tile racks frame the central board, featuring words like ELEFANTASTIC, CIRCUS, PEANUTS, MAYHEM, and Y’all.
In the foreground, an elephant purposefully miscalculates the scores on a notepad listing game points for "US" versus "THEM"—complete with creative point bonuses like "Southern Word Bonus!" and a humorous handwritten verdict at the bottom: "GAME SUSPENDED DUE TO TEAM 'THEM' CHEATING!"
Rendered with precision through photogravure on copper plate and richly hand-colored with watercolors, each piece offers subtle variations, making every print in the edition unique.
Printmaking Process: hand painted, hand-pulled intaglio etching
Ink/Paper Combination: Black ink printed on Rives BFK paper. Hand-colored with watercolor paints.
Image Size: 10 × 15 inches
Paper Size: 14 × 19 inches
Edition Size: 100 variable edition original prints plus 10 Artist’s Proofs. All prints are signed, numbered, and titled in graphite pencil by the artist.
Remarks: This image represents a typical image in the edition. A specific edition number (i.e.: 3/50) may no longer be available.
