Wow! Nice work, I really like it!
- thanks mate :)
Wow looks awesome, sad it's sold out in your shop.
- Thanks :) I'm going to do another series in two or three weeks. I'm waiting for the Japanese satogami paper. If you are interested I'll send you a message when it's available
  
  Do you ship these to new zealand? They're so beautiful
  
  Je peux avoir un message aussi ? 😁
  
  Would you please message me as well if you're willing? I'd love to get one.
How on Earth are you able to cut such perfect lines and curves, especially the circles, in Lino??!

I’ve tried Lino cut and it was barely acceptable, if hacky shabby chic edges are acceptable.
- haha, a lot of strength, concentration and fear of failure :D Some sharp tools also make a difference ! The fact that they're large format also helps, as the details are easier to achieve. The large circles have a curve that's easier to follow.
  
  What sorts of tools do you use? And it is any particular type of lino or is it still basically those blocks you get but on a larger scale? I was using a brand new scalpel with a beginner set but the lino was still so soft it was hard to cut… do you use a firmer sort?
  
  Excellent work by the way :)
Found your shop link, these are very nice and I'm sad I can't afford one 😭
- thank you very much ! that's the problem with large formats, it's not very affordable given the work involved but, aware of this fact, I'm planning to do a series of smaller formats this year.
One day, when I can afford fine art, this is the kind of piece I'd want in my library.
- :) thank you ! indeed, in a bookshop that would be very elegant! do you have a general bookshop or a particular literary genre?
  
  I'm an academic, so my library is mostly research (hyperbolic geometry these days - for which I use a disc model which matches this piece so well). However, there is a lot of hidden fantasy novels in there as well ^_
That looks super cool!
- thanks :)
