From Zombieland to Scooby Doo to Silent Hill 3, movies, TV shows and games love to incorporate abandoned amusement parks into the storylines because they are inherently creepy. The haunting silence in a place that should be filled with laughter and chatter just seems wrong and, of course, if a ride does happen to move when it’s not supposed to, that’s when you know things are really going to end badly. But abandoned amusement parks aren’t just found in works of fiction. Here are some tr...

This 8x10 linocut print was hand-pressed in cobalt blue. This original, hand-pulled relief print was pressed in cobalt blue on thick cotton letterpress paper. Each linoleum block is carved by hand, then each linoprint is hand-pressed. Due to the printmaking process there will be variations from print to print giving you an original piece of art! All materials are archival. Info on this specific rocket ship: This rocket ship is in Riverside Park (Wichita, KS). I used to play on it as a kid. It's since been blocked off, but back in its glory days kids could climb all the way to the top. Each level was accessible by short ladders and impossibly small manholes. On the second level there was a slide (not shown), and at the very top there was a steering wheel (because rocket ships totally have steering wheels) that gave vicious blood blisters. So if it was so great, why was it blocked off, you ask? Well, the city impeded access, one level at a time, because kids kept getting stuck in the top, or were too afraid to climb down, or (in my case) the wheelhouse was overrun by rambunctious third graders who made the entire behemoth sway from side to side like an amusement park ride. It taught real grit. Playgrounds ain't what they used to be. •Paper measures 8x10" •Image measures appx 4x7" •Initialed on front & signed on the back •Printed on 100% cotton Lettra paper ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• ✪ SHIPPING::: Your print will be carefully packaged and will ship flat in a bend-proof mailer.
