Streets of Vietnam

Since living and working in Ho Chi Minh City I have found myself being inspired by the hustle and bustle of street life and culture here. Starting with my illustrations I found myself growing fond of funny expressions, sayings and traditions as well as different types of street food. 

Woodcuts in Colour

​

Colour woodcuts are made by applying multiple layers of print to a design to build up the colours from light to dark. There are 2 ways of doing this, either using multiple woodblocks or a reduction method using just one block each time. Here the latter has been used and in some cases light tones of watercolour are added to add extra depth and dimension.
