After Three Years of Preparation and Carving Tugboat Printshop Reveals Their Stunning Woodcut Print
Since 2006, married artist duo Paul Roden & Valerie Lueth of Tugboat Printshop have worked relentlessly to create fine art woodcut prints. After gaining recognition for their work a few years ago, the couple has finally completed a mesmerizing woodwork craving, called Overlook. After three years of countless hours of preparation and testing, its entirety has been revealed.
Lueth and Roden have transformed a block piece into an intricate 46″ x 30″ artwork. Portraying lush forests and an abundant growth of exotic and colorful landscapes, the piece has an abundance of vibrancy enough to rival a rainbow, under a landscape of a mountain range. Overlook is built on 5 plates including 4 color blocks each uniquely carved on 3/4″ birch plywood. Each piece is printed on handmade Kozo fiber paper, which beautifully merges into an eruption of colors. You can find more of their exquisite work in their Etsy shop.
