This is an original linocut print

Printed using archival colourfast Caligo Safewash black linocut ink onto White A3 Cartridge card.

Not a numbered edition - an artists proof and signed, named and marked as such in pencil at the bottom of the print.

This was inspired by the magic of Autumn.
I sat down with a pad of paper and scribbled a few ideas - and worked on the idea of incorporating some of the natural wonders of the forest into a mystical face.
I hope you like it!

The magic of a linocut is that EVERY print is unique.
Each print takes some time to complete and each one taken from a linoct will be slightly different.
That is the fun!
.
It is so hard to capture the real magic of original prints in a photo and you will find that the real print looks SO much better.
The contrast and textures of the ink look fantastic in person but can't be captured in a photograph.

Until I make the print and peel back the paper I don't know exactly what the print will look like..
 

I am a professional jeweller and also visual artist.

I have been creating art all my life, and I love what I do..

I work mainly in watercolour paint and linocut, and my work has sold all around the World.
As well as my own work I am also creating  CD cover artwork for several respected bands.
