Titled "Koi", this came about because of our love of water, and for me to experiment with how to visualise that.
One of my first and few Prints made using Japanese Lino.
As this is an open edition print, I may do another print run of this design. I currently have 3 variations but only 1 available to purchase here. If you would like to purchase another colour way please contact me and I can see what I can do.
Current Variation 3 - Water based Schmincke Linoprint ink in Blue on Fabriano 120gsm paper 150mm by 150mm Blue with light blue to edges.
---Linocut Print Specifications--- This has been printed on 120gsm Fabriano Paper a size of 148mm by 148mm. The design itself is roughly a 10cm circle. Titled, dated and signed by me. Light Blue colour. Suggested Frame - fits into an IKEA HOVSTA - 23cm by 23cm (with the mount size opening being 12cm by 12cm)
---Packaging and Delivery--- This will be posted in a flat, cardboard protected envelope with the print being inside a plastic wrap (to protect from water) which is an upcycled pocket punched wallet which can be recycled at larger stores with Soft Plastics. It will be posted via Royal Mail Tracked 48hr (or 24hr)
---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.
