The Blackbird Woodcut Print Armadillo meandering across the page onHere is my blackbird woodcut print, one of my two new prints for 2025 so far. Cut from a fine piece of Magnolia wood using mostly Japanese tools, this print captures the nature of this most British of birds, its song the constant companion throughout the year. My blackbird is feasting on Rowan berries, one if its favourite foods and a staple of this beautiful birds diet. This print is an image area of 20cm x 150 cm on A4 250gsm Somerset soft white
