Wood Cuts - Just for Fun
I find all kinds of interesting items showing up in my email account. From markets to today's email from woodcut artist Loren Kantor. I checked out his blog and found it quite interesting. He does woodcuts of people and a few settings then adds a history of the people he's carved. Here are the links he sent me to wood cuts inspired by film noir classics. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
