Custom Block Print of Your Home

Preserve Your Home's Story in a Timeless Hand-Carved Portrait

Transform your house into a one-of-a-kind work of art with a custom linoleum block print—a unique blend of traditional craftsmanship and personal storytelling that captures the character and charm of your most treasured place.

The Process:

Working from photographs of your home taken from select angles, I'll hand-carve a custom 9"x6" linoleum block, meticulously translating your home's architectural details and unique character into bold lines and intricate textures.

Each print is pulled by hand using traditional relief printing techniques, ensuring that no two are exactly alike. The bold graphic quality of linocut printmaking gives your home portrait a striking, contemporary feel while honoring centuries-old artistic tradition.

Your Package Includes:

• One original hand-carved 9"x6" linoleum block print of your home
• Print 1/5 from the limited edition of five
• One artist's proof (AP 1/2)
• Both prints professionally signed and numbered

Package Price: $500

Upgrade Option: Add the Original Carved Block - $150

Preserve the artwork's origin story by adding the hand-carved linoleum block itself, mounted on a beautiful 9"x12" MDF board with a protective varnish finish. Display the block alongside your print to showcase both the final artwork and the crafted tool that created it—a stunning conversation piece that reveals the artist's hand in every carved line.

Why Choose a Linoleum Block Print Portrait?

Unlike photographs or digital prints, hand-carved block prints offer a distinctive artistic interpretation that emphasizes form, light, and architectural character. The limited edition nature means you're receiving truly exclusive artwork—only five prints will ever exist of your home's portrait, making this a meaningful heirloom to pass down through generations.

Perfect for:

• Commemorating a beloved family home
• Celebrating a new house purchase
• Marking a significant life transition or move
• Gifting to parents, grandparents, or grown children
• Documenting historic or architecturally significant properties
