Napper Cat buy - Linocut Print

This is hand printed block print of a cat in nap pose in a bold graphic style. The edges are intentionally underwiped to give it a more abstract feel. This print is the third in my new Linocut Pet Portrait series. The print image measures 12 x 12 inches. It is a carved linoleum that I inked and buy printed with a printing press. The edition size is 30 and is printed on a variety of thin rice papers. It is available in black. I've only printed a few of these so far, so I can print it in custom colors if you want.

Linocut, also known as lino print, lino printing or linoleum art, is a printmaking technique, a variant of woodcut in which a sheet of linoleum (sometimes mounted on a wooden block) is used for a relief surface. It evolved from trench art. First a design is drawn onto a piece of linoleum. Then the artist uses cutting tools to carve the design into the block. The linoleum block is inked with a roller (called a brayer), and then impressed onto paper or fabric using a press, a barren or wooden spoon.
