Linocut Print "Portal Cat" 5x7 Set of Two

$30.00

This is an original handmade linocut pair of prints of a cat going through a portal. One shows the front, the other shows the butt. BOTH front and backside are included in a set. Display the butt one in your bathroom and put the front on the other side of the wall, for a clever placement.

Images are printed on Stonehenge (250 gsm) paper with metallic silver ink.

The process of linocut involves carving out the excess of a design from a block of linoleum. A thin layer of ink is rolled onto the finished stamp and then the inked stamp is pressed into paper. Pressing involves a large flat press but often has to be finished with hand-burnishing with a baren. Due to the way the hand-pressing process works, there are slight variations between each print such as texture or stray marks. Each print is unique in that way, which is what makes linocut printing the way it is.
