"Busy Days work" Original Handmade Linocut Print

This Print is almost a 3 block puzzle piece. I wrote the poem over 20 years ago trying to capture the importance of living and looking outside the world we create for ourselves. Modern society keeps us in our blocks, but nature calls us outside to breathe.

There are slight colour variations in the print, and the text is printed with an inkjet printer. I have since altered my block pieces since printing this run of prints, so if I print them again, they won't be the same. Making these unique to all others to come! Edition of 10.

---The Relief Print Process---
I currently make all my prints by hand - coming up with, and drawing the design, tracing it to Lino or Wood and then carving, inking and pressing the Print. All in my home studio in Edinburgh. Due to each Print being separately inked and pressed by hand, there are small variations in the colour coverage, such is the nature of Relief Printing - lending each print being totally unique to you.

---Planet Friendly---
I do my best in my personal and Business life to think about the planet - from what inks I use and the companies I buy from, to how someone would dispose of something they have purchased from me after they have finished with it, to using up what I already have available to me. Anything I have included in your package, including the package itself, has been thought about with environment and our future planet in mind.
