Way back in 1999, an entirely different century, I started on the great adventure of carving and block printing. From my first attempt with a rusty old x-acto knife and a very humble eraser, I was hooked (only appropriate, since my first carving was a fish!). I graduated to better and better materials as I improved my skills and, when my favorite place to get carving material was going out of business, taking my all-time favorite carving material with it, I stepped up and bought the business and saved it from oblivion. (I usually just say I was a brat and didn’t want to be without my beloved PZ Kut.)
Sadly, a couple years later, changes in regulations put an end to production of my favorite formula and I’ve been on a quest to recapture the rapture of working with that particular block ever since. There have been many iterations, a couple of which are available in the shop, along with other materials, tools, inks and various products which I hope serve to enhance the entire creative experience. I continue with the development of various possible formulae in hopes of improving on what is already in production and will keep the carving community informed of any significant strides in that direction. For now, I’m just relieved to have the store back up and running!
