Carving a Venetian Lagoon

I had to bring a bit of Venice home with me. When I found out the the city was built upon a series of piers that were pounded into the mud and then a layer of marble was placed upon the piers and monuments were built, I couldn't resist making a woodcut showing a cross section of the place. San Marco is in the background and a swarm of native fish including sardines will begin to appear in the bottom section of the piece. This will be the 2nd long skinny vertical woodcut I have made. I am lovin' the size!
