This is an original hand printed image pulled from a hand carved lino block. It is an open edition print i.e. this is not a numbered limited edition.

All prints are signed, titled and numbered on the front side under the image. In this case the print is designated O/E for open edition.

Signed and stamped on the back.

Lino and block printing is a form of printmaking referred to as relief printing.

My process in creating a block print starts with an illustration.

I transfer the illustration to the carving block - rubber, lino, or vinyl.

The image is carved into the block using specialty carving tools.

The carving process is a detailed and time consuming process, and requires a high level of attention and patience.

The blocks are then inked with archival quality ink and printed on acid free archival quality specialty printmaking paper.

Due to the nature of the handmade process, each print is unique and will have slight variations.

Paper Size: 28.5cm x 22cm

Image Size: 19.5cm x 14cm

Ink: Sakura Printmaking Ink. Oil based.

Behind the Price Tag: Each of my hand-pulled prints is an original artwork - etched, carved, and printed by hand using traditional printmaking methods. There’s no digital reproduction here, just time, skill, and many quiet hours in the studio. These works are printed in small editions, signed, and made to last. My pricing reflects the labour, materials, and care involved - as well as my goal to make a sustainable living from my creative work. It’s easy to spend without hesitation on mass-produced items. This is something different: slow, personal, and created with intention.
