Hi folks,
I'm currently researching lino and woodblock illustration and I was hoping that the kind people here might be able to direct me to contemporary practices in art and design that utilise these methods?
One I enjoyed recently was www.tugboatprintshop.com
Thanks,
C

I've been meaning to laser-etch some wood to try my hand at woodblock printing, but I've never quite gotten around to it.
Doesn't help that I'm not a particularly creative illustrator.
I think this is a hint.
