Old Dog Dave

‘Old Dog Dave’ is a limited edition stone lithograph print made during Georgia's time as artist in residence at the University of Lancashire in 2026. The edition is inspired by Georgia's big rescue dog Dave, a handsome and rather melancholy Malamute, Husky, German Shepard crossbreed.

This edition is printed on Arches BFK Rives Grey and scaled just larger than A4 (24cm x 34cm) for convenient framing. It is a limited edition of 30 prints. There are two colour layers: a vibrant blended roll background layer, and a pencil-grey coloured top layer to highlight the beautiful sketch-like quality of traditional lithograph prints.

Stone lithography is strongly connected to drawing and requires an organic and direct approach to mark-making. Lithography is a chemical medium, based on the principle that oil and water don’t mix. The artist draws with a greasy material directly onto a prepared matrix of limestone, before processing the stone over several hours or days with an ‘etch’ of nitric acid and gum arabic.
