lino carving

Carving on rubber for print making is an old technique, still widely used by artists. I have been thoroughly fascinated by this simple yet elegant process but the part i enjoy the most is carving on the rubber with basic tools and see the transformation, I get to see from a sketch to a finished carved piece.
