Wolske is a letterpress artist who uses the traditional process to create clean contemporary artwork and graphic design. 

Wolske has cropped the letterforms and layered each component to create contrasting, high impact compositions. He uses monochromatic colour schemes to create contrast which is also helped by the hard edges and angular lines. Wolske uses colour in a lot of his compositions which look like screen print outcomes as the layers of colour create more tones - CMYK:

Cropping the letterforms and layering them inside a confined area creates a lot of white space. This gives the composition a focal point.  Wolske has used the negative space created by the geometric characters to make the type unrecognisable. I like how Wolske has used a traditional technique and created a contemporary outcome. 

I would like to explore this printing technique and begin cropping down outcomes to produce more engaging and contemporary design. I aim to contact Wolske in appreciation of his work and to ask how he crops his prints so successfully.
