Hand printed & hand carved linoprint. Occult/Sci-fi inspired work about exobiology.
This is awesome. Great detail!
thanks :)
That's really cool. Love it
thanks a lot :)
I really like this! The colors of the ink, paper, frame, and even the wall look great together!

thank a lot :) the frame and the wall come from a mock up I haven't actually framed it yet :)
Really kool! Did you sketch it out beforehand or what was your process
thanks ! I do the research using drawings in a notebook, but they are more sketches of elements, of symbols. I create the composition in vector on Adobe Illustrator then using a transfert medium from liquitex , I transfer my printed composition onto my linoleum plate. I then engrave my plate manually. approximately 90 percent of the plaque is hollowed out.
Can you explain all the various representations? There’s a few I recognize, a few I can guess at and still more that I don’t even know where to start.
it is a mixture of abstract elements with occult/sci-fi connotations and scientific diagrams or more figurative or symbolic elements. there are elements relating to cosmology, astronomy, topography/geology. the element carbon, its simplified atomic model. a molecule of “chnops” the building blocks of life, a representation of bacterial life and various abstract elements. everything arranged in such a way as to have a homogeneous and graphically coherent egnimatic whole.
I'm high as fuck and my guy, you're guy as fuck. This is rad
hahaha, thanks mate ! :D
Awesome! I've always wanted to do linocuts. Is this a metallic ink? It looks great! :)
thank you ! yep, these are the metallic inks from canfield color. they are beautiful ! :)
That is fantastic detail; at first glance I thought you'd laser cut it. Incredibly precise. It must have been very meditative to do the carving by hand.
Question: do you have a press, or is this hand-rubbed as well? Either way, great work.
haha, meditative is the term yes, it's very long, more than thirty hours of engraving :) thank you! all my prints are printed by hand. using a sterile sterile and a tablespoon :)
