Made by handCarved, inked, and printed by hand
The final image keeps every decision made by the carving tool.
The photo is simplified into a bold pattern of light and dark. The artisan then cuts the block, preserving fur direction and expression through line rhythm. Ink, paper, pressure, and hand-coloring shape the final result.
Carve the block
Negative spaces are removed by hand, leaving the raised surface that will carry ink.
Ink and print
The block is inked, pressed, reviewed, and optionally hand-colored or framed as a finished edition.
