Ever since my dad started to read The Hobbit to me at bedtimes when I was aged four, I’ve always been interested in - no, obsessed with - stories of all kinds. But worlds of fantasy and lore, dragons and adventurers have always had a special place in my heart.

Whether in books, films, TV shows or video games, epic tales of magic and monsters ignite something in me that can't be ignored.

After many years of video and tabletop gaming, I decided to get a woodcut-style hand tattoo of a certain tentacle-faced creature from the world's most well-known TTRPG.

Inspired by the style, I decided to try lino cut printmaking. I quickly fell in love with the slow, tactile process of carving light out of darkness—turning rough sketches into bold, textured prints that feel like stories in themselves.

My friends and loved ones seem to think I have a knack for telling these stories - I hope you agree!
