#Portraiture in Art

Shin-hanga.

Shin-hanga, or “new prints,” represents a revival of traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques in the early 20th century. I’ve always been drawn to this art form for its stunning beauty and the stories it tells.

Shin-hanga artists, influenced by Western art styles, combined traditional Japanese aesthetics with modern techniques. The result is a unique blend that captures the essence of Japan’s landscapes, people, and culture.

Each print is not just a visual feast; it also reflects the artist’s perspective, showcasing Japan’s rich cultural heritage. Studying shin-hanga allows us to appreciate the intricacies of printmaking while also understanding the socio-cultural context in which these works were created.

While looking for art ref, Pinterest gave me this and I never felt more like a dirty scoundrel or a naïve bi-curious middle schooler in my life (and I AM a shameless dirty scoundrel and I absolutely was a naïve bi-curious middle schooler).

✨ Here you go, guys! The companion portrait to Aziraphale that I did forever ago. I know it took me a long time, but it had to be done. As I was choosing pieces to go to print, I realized that Azi’s portrait couldn’t go without his demon…they are a set after all!
