Jolly Robin - Christmas Card

A unique design to send to your friends and family this Christmas.

Taken from an original linocut print, this jolly Robin has been digitally captured and printed on high-quality 300gsm Callisto Extract recycled card. The card comes complete with a kraft envelope and is left blank for your own festive message.

With their rusty orangey-red breasts, robins are a cheerful sight during the winter months. This cheerful chap is a reduction print. The print is made up of several layers of colour. I carved into the plate between each layer of the print to add more detail.

Working from sketches, I carve my designs into Lino to form a printing plate. Having applied ink to the surface of the plate with a roller I then burnish the plates by hand. Each design is formed from multiple layers. In between each layer I carve into the printing plate. This enables me to create a detailed and colourful print.
