Ever felt a piece of art could transport you?

Before this striking, black-and-white print of the Ke Ga Lighthouse came to be, there was the adventure. Imagine the heat of the Vietnamese sun, the hum of a hired scooter, and the startling beauty of electric-green dragon fruit fields blurring past us. The journey to this remote sentinel was an odyssey of its own—a drive toward the sea where the ancient, towering form of the lighthouse finally appeared.

This is more than just a picture of a landmark. It’s the visual drama of a wild coast, the thrill of getting lost, and the painstaking process of carving every single wave to bring that memory to life.

Ever looked at a striking black and white print and wondered, "How did they make that?"

The answer lies in the linocut art process, a beautiful and time-honored craft that stands in powerful contrast to our fast-paced digital world. It's a journey from a simple block of linoleum to a piece of art full of texture and character.

But this isn't just about carving and ink. It's a story of patience, vision, and the physical act of creation. It's about a linocut process where every line tells a story, and every print is a unique, hand-burnished work of art.
