Edition of 40. John Byrne's contribution to Scottish arts and culture is remarkable. He was a printmaker, illustrator, painter, theatre designer and writer. Byrne used many styles and techniques to avoid being pigeonholed into artistic styles or movements.
Moonstruck was created while Byrne was working on the mural for the ceiling of the Kings Theatre in Edinburgh which features similar imagery. Byrne enjoyed working in stone lithography as it allowed him to draw fluidly with crayon while also scraping back with a blade to achieve fine white lines. As a night owl, Byrne likes to work in his studio at home so the stone was carried to his top floor flat so he could work on the drawing there.
