Mars, original linocut by Tian Gan

This is the last one of four commissioned linocuts for a craft beer called Marte by an Italian brewery.
 
By the client's request, the design has lots of negative space and focuses on the lines and textures. I used a Japanese vinyl as I did for the other prints in this series, and a combination of a Japanese woodcut scalpel and my Pfeil gouges. 
 
Limited edition of 30 printed on 30 x 30 cm hosho paper.
