Rules
AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).
Nudity: Nudity is and has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude subject matter.
Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.
Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

thanks mate :)
Wow looks awesome, sad it's sold out in your shop.
Thanks :) I'm going to do another series in two or three weeks. I'm waiting for the Japanese satogami paper. If you are interested I'll send you a message when it's available
Do you ship these to new zealand? They're so beautiful
yes :) thanks !
Would you please message me as well if you're willing? I'd love to get one.
done :)

How on Earth are you able to cut such perfect lines and curves, especially the circles, in Lino??!
Iβve tried Lino cut and it was barely acceptable, if hacky shabby chic edges are acceptable.
haha, a lot of strength, concentration and fear of failure :D Some sharp tools also make a difference ! The fact that they're large format also helps, as the details are easier to achieve. The large circles have a curve that's easier to follow.
What sorts of tools do you use? And it is any particular type of lino or is it still basically those blocks you get but on a larger scale? I was using a brand new scalpel with a beginner set but the lino was still so soft it was hard to cut⦠do you use a firmer sort?
Excellent work by the way :)

thank you very much ! :) i mainly use well-sharpened pfeil gouges for routing and most of the work, for all the details i use a cutter. it's traditional grey lino with a medium hardness, depending on the temperature of the piece it's more or less easy to work. with the rubbing of the hand and forearm it warms up slowly and softens as it goes along. when i started engraving i bought a large roll of lino, 5m x 1m, which i've just finished with my latest engraving. i bought it in england before brexit but it doesn't ship to france any more :/ i need to find a plan B.
One day, when I can afford fine art, this is the kind of piece I'd want in my library.
:) thank you ! indeed, in a bookshop that would be very elegant! do you have a general bookshop or a particular literary genre?
I'm an academic, so my library is mostly research (hyperbolic geometry these days - for which I use a disc model which matches this piece so well). However, there is a lot of hidden fantasy novels in there as well ^_^
Found your shop link, these are very nice and I'm sad I can't afford one π
thank you very much ! that's the problem with large formats, it's not very affordable given the work involved but, aware of this fact, I'm planning to do a series of smaller formats this year.
That looks super cool!
thanks :)
