Map of the West Indies, 1790. Born Alone, Die Alone. is an edition derived from the series “Crocodile Company: The War of the Dancing Machetes,” set in 1789 in the Caribbean. The artist loosely based this series on the actual “War of Knives” that was fought as a precursor to Haitian independence.

Limited to an edition of 20, each piece has been hand-finished in the artist’s studio. No two prints are exactly alike, with all colors—red, blue, green, yellow, brown, and gold—painted by hand in the artist’s studio.

Hand-finished with acrylic paint over archival pigment linework printed on Arches natural cotton watercolor paper, 356 gsm.

• Due to the nature of hand-finishing, there may be slight variations in texture, color, and detail compared to the images shown on our website. These differences are a hallmark of the handmade process and contribute to the individuality and value of each artwork. Buyers should expect and appreciate these variations as part of the art’s unique character.
