14 oct 1097 año - wood block printing is when the image is carved into a block of wood then covered in ink or paint, when the block is pressed to the paper or fabric it is then printed on to the surface leaving a negative image on the wood block and a positive image on the fabric or paper used. One of the more modern artists that still use this technique is Howard Cook. Howard Cook's work is very architectural as he usually does prints of modern structures like sky scrapers and buildings.
