I work in two main methods of block printing.  The first is based on traditional Japanese "mokuhanga" using wood blocks, water based inks, strch paste and hand printing with a baren.  Unlike the traditional Japanese method I generally use only cyan, magenta, yellow and black inks (CMYK).  The separate colours of different intensity are hand carved on separate blocks.  Typically there are between 6-12 separate blocks to complete one image.

The second style is traditional western style printing with oil based inks and a  brayer to apply the ink. (Animal Series)
