Inkshed Press

Stunning, limited edition linocut prints, handcut and handprinted on Vancouver Island by Mark Wilkinson.

Mark Wilkinson (aka Inkshed Press) is a full-time printmaker and illustrator specialising in linocut. Born and raised in the North East of England, but now living and working in Port Alberni, he is completely self-taught, having taken up printmaking as a therapeutic outlet following a 22-year career in the military. Working primarily in black and white, and utilising a distinctive style, each one of Mark’s prints is made entirely by hand – from designing and sketching, to carving and printing – using traditional printmaking techniques. Much of his output is focused on his love of portraiture and is inspired by nature, literature, music and classic cinema.
