So happy with how this linocut has turned out 😊. I really love the simple but recognisable lines and forms. This is part of a limited edition and is available now.

From idea, to sketch, to a finished print. My first delve into mokuhanga.
Something that I have been wanting to try for a while, so finally found the time to try it out on some cheap plywood. I had actually completed the first block last year, it just took until now to get round to doing it! 😅A very steep learning curve, and still getting used to cutting with hangito, but I really like this process.
Going to get some better quality wood and plan a few more prints!

Current linocut in progress. For pretty much most of this year, art has been pretty hard to make. A little bit of a creative identity crisis and a creative block made really hindered my creative process.

But I've been experimenting, playing around, loosening up and trying new things and I feel like I'm on the edge of something new and exciting. I feel like the wheel is turning again. Finally. Lots more on my journey coming up. Definitely watch this space.

Happy New Year everyone!

This week has been a bit of a funny week - it has definitely taken a bit longer than I had anticipated to get back into my routine and the swing of things.

I had planned to release this earlier, but I actually relaxed over the holidays (shock horror!), so plans went awry a bit. Anyways, Lunar New Year is just around the corner, and in celebration I've made this little reduction linocut and turned it into eco friendly greeting cards.

As it takes a few days for them to be professionally printed, and to reduce left over cards waste :( after Lunar New Year, I've made a preorder option - at a reduced price (woop! woop!) - until this Wednesday! The link is in my bio for those that are interested.
