Linocut for Artists and Designers book – pre-order now

May 27, 2016

Linocut for Artists and Designers, the book I have been writing, is available to pre-order now, I’m delighted to announce! After three years of hard work, more than ten days of photo shoots with Hazeleigh Prebble and many sessions with my designer, Ian Youngs, I have received the first advance copy! It looks brilliant and I am very happy and relieved to finally see it in print (thank you to Rachel Allen at Crowood Press for sticking with me!)

The main shipment is currently on a boat somewhere between Malaysia and the UK and is due to arrive around 10th June. I will send out your order as soon as the books arrive, along with an exclusive Linocutboy bookplate.

Linocut for Artists and Designers is a complete practical guide to linocut. The book covers everything you need to know about this versatile and accessible medium, from choosing the right tools and materials, to planning your design, carving and printing. It explores how linocut can be used in different ways, from fine art prints and illustration, to product design and fashion. Illustrated throughout with clear, step-by-step photographs and examples of work by the author and other artists and designers from around the world.

Eight international artists and designers are featured in-depth with interviews and images: Bill Fick, AGUGN, Sonia Romero, Deborah Klein, Jesse Breytenbach, Zach Medler, James Brown and Steve Edwards.

Each book comes with an exclusive hand-printed linocut bookplate, signed by me. (Not available via Amazon or Waterstones!)
