New Orleans House #1 Hand-Carved Linocut (1/1)

This 3-layer reduction linocut of a shotgun house in New Orleans was hand-carved from a linoleum block and hand-printed in layers of ink over the course of about 20 hours of intense, detailed work. There are only 10 physical prints in existence and this is the only NFT that will be created of this work. This style of hand-carving and printing destroys the block during the process, so no further physical prints can be created.

Each mark visible on the work was carved by me with a sharp tool in a completely analog process, the only digital aspect was the scanning. Physical prints of this work were sold as a Hurricane Ida fundraiser earlier this year, and this NFT is a high-resolution scan of my personal print of the work.
