I’m smitten with this Leaf Boat woodcut print from Tugboat Printshop. Tugboat has been sharing their process of creating the woodcut on their blog and Twitter, and the result is utterly fantastic.

Star Wars Return Of The Jedi print “made in retro scandinavian style”. Really, I don’t know why we don’t just make everything in this world in retro scandinavian style.
