The French phrase “de belles choses brisées” means “beautiful things, broken” in English. When my dog was ill, I created this print to express my worry for him, with a titch of anger that he'd caused the issue himself (he’d run away and eaten too much of who-knows-what that he’d found in the woods).

Limited edition

This is a limited edition of 50 "variable edition" (VE) prints, individually numbered and signed.

"Variable edition" means that print you receive may not be exactly as shown in the photos. Each print is unique due the handmade nature of printmaking, which produces subtle differences based on the alignment of the paper and linocut, ink coverage and pressure while printing.

When printing, I keep the environment in mind

I use:

• real linoleum sheets that are made from all-natural materials like wood pulp and linseed oil, and are fully biodegradable

• Cranfield’s Caligo Safe Wash Relief Inks, which are oil-based but don’t require harmful solvents to clean up after printing

• heavyweight, fine-textured paper that is acid-free, meaning it uses fewer chemical agents during manufacturing and won’t yellow or break down over time

• as little packaging as possible to ensure the print arrives to you safely.
