Timings vary depending on the size and complexity of the print. For a standard A5 the drawing and carving process takes anywhere from 7-24 hours. Larger prints take days to complete as the designs tend to be more complex.
Yes — all my lino prints are original, hand-pulled prints made from my own carved blocks. Even if I print the same design more than once, each one has small variations that make it unique.
