Carved, inked, and printed by hand processMade by hand

Carved, 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.

01

Translate the photograph

The portrait is redesigned as a clear cuttable image, balancing likeness with expressive linework.

02

Carve the block

Negative spaces are removed by hand, leaving the raised surface that will carry ink.

03

Ink and print

The block is inked, pressed, reviewed, and optionally hand-colored or framed as a finished edition.
