Oiginal Linocut-
Sometimes, only these words will do. Applicable to so many life situations, the lettering 'f*** it' is surrounded by a wild flower wreath of belladonna, vetch, thistle, violet, hemlock, harebell. To add an extra sublte message. many of the flowers are prickly or poisonous.This was the print that got many people through lockdown in 2020, and it continues to be popular today.

Linocuts prints are made by carving a design into traditional linoleum plates which are then inked up and printed in my two Victorian printing presses. All the areas which have been carved away will not print onto the paper, therefore leaving the paper white. Single-colour linocuts are very striking and bold. It is also possible to create multiblock prints with several overlapping plates, or reduction prints where the same plate is gradually carved away as the layers are printed.
