Special Feature Friday: Little Ram Studio

Edition 21

Gary and Heather from Little Ram Studio have years of experience in creative world. They work with a printing technique called Lino cut. A image is cut out of a piece of lino. After finding the best color of paint and applying to the lino it can be transferred on paper with a press. This technique gives a great unique look, even though you can use the same lino plate multiple times, it will never turn out exactly the same. In the process it is possible to work with one color or with multiple colors. It is more complicated to use multiple colors in the process, so any item with multiple colors sold in the shop are limited editions!



The prints remind me of old books, especially the ones about nature. They are timeless yet modern. Gary and Heather have a shop filled with mostly animal prints. Dog and cat portraits can be found, but also a great range of other animals, like wood creatures and birds and animals from the farm.



I love crows, so this particular print is very appealing to me! even though it only uses black and white it gives a great sense of depth! I admire the craftsmanship that went into all these pieces.



These original lino cut art prints can be shipped world wide, and will certainly make for a great contemporary piece in your living room!
