On the link above there is an amazing video showing how Nick Morley created the 'Deep Sea Diver' print shown above) 

I find it incredible the amount of workmanship that has gone into these images considering the amount of times the original lino has bee altered to create new marks in the print. i also like the gradient use of ink and feel that this gives the images a lot more depth.

I really like the stencil like feel of this image and how the designer has adjusted the lino in each colour to look 3d and shadowed. Even though the image looks simple it would have taken a lot of work by hand to create such a stand out image.

I like the illustrative yet simple feel that is portrayed through this image and how they child like toy is reflected in the way in which it has been darn considering the imperfections.

the colours and textures achieved here are very effecting in the character of each piece. i feel that the playful imagery goes well with and reflects this lino cutting method well as it is something you can have fun with in a simple sense as there are not huge consequences if something goes wrong or not as planned.
