"Ad Astra"

Linocut print
Limited edition of 35 prints

A lone wolf runs across a starry black night sky, howling at the cosmos in a celestial scene. The print is inspired by the Latin phrase per ardua ad astra (“through adversity to the stars”) and bears resemblance to the Canis Major constellation. This monochromatic print is crafted on off-white, sustainably sourced handmade paper.

Solvent-free printmaking inks made from linseed oil and lightfast pigments.

Due to the handmade nature of the medium, each print is unique. Colors and details may vary slightly, and the print and the paper may have imperfections, including slight color misalignment in multicolor prints. These variations contribute to the individual charm and character of the print.
The prints are signed and numbered on the front side.
Frame not included. If you're looking for quality framing options in Europe, I personally use and recommend BGA. They offer a range of sizes, including custom options, in different materials.

Return Policy

Packaging

Your print will be shipped in secure, flat packaging that is plastic-free and made from eco-friendly materials. The packaging can be reused and recycled.

Print Care

To ensure that your print stays in the best condition, I recommend framing it. Keep the print at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, and in a location with controlled humidity. It's advisable to avoid using acidic materials in the framing process, as these can potentially affect the print over time. Additionally, ensure that the print doesn't come into direct contact with the glass to prevent yellowing.
