The project became a small creative expedition into forgotten craft. A key part of the journey involved studying and digitally recreating vintage wood-cut engraving techniques, then sampling loose hand-drawn textures to capture an honest, slightly unruly character. Rebuilding this aesthetic in a modern workflow was both challenging and deeply enjoyable, turning every rough stroke into a lesson in patience and precision. The final outcome reflects that process: a visual system that feels lived-in and genuine, carrying the quiet charm of an old medium revived for a new story.
