The Wolf

Handprinted original linocut print of a wolf howling at the moon in a forest under starry skies.

I wanted to do a slightly witchier print than my more recent pieces as that’s the type of art I was creating when I first opened my shop around a year ago. It felt like a nice way to celebrate the anniversary of embarking on the adventure of following my dreams!

The print is made by hand carving the design into linoleum using traditional Japanese printmaking tools, rolling oil-based ink onto the lino and taking an impression onto paper by passing it through my etching press. The paper is Somerset printmaking paper, heavyweight 300gsm in velvet white.

Each print is editioned and signed as part of a limited edition run of eighteen prints.

This piece was created and designed by printmaker Sophia Luna in her home studio in the historical city of York.

Approximate Sizes:
Print: 5x7 inches (12.7x17.8 cm)
Paper: 7x9 inches (17.8x22.9 cm)

Please bear in mind that each piece is printed by hand and therefore will vary slightly.

All prints are posted in heavy duty parcel tubes/envelopes to ensure they are protected throughout transport.

Having recently welcomed a baby boy, I am extremely grateful for all the support for my small business!
