Nice to meet you

I am a corporate dropout who left the automotive industry after 10 years to pursue my passion for fine art.

I love to use my hands and enjoy all the steps of a creative process. As the business world became more and more automated, I found there was less and less space to express my artistic vision, even in the creative field of marketing and graphic design. I wanted to get my hands dirty, make a mess, and finish each day satisfied with the work I had done, even if it wasn’t perfect.

Craving something real and human, I started Fox Franco, a brand focused on using classic printmaking techniques, tactile paper products, and vibrant inks to bring one-of-a-kind artwork to homes, offices, and any place that needs a touch of originality.

If you’re looking for something hand-made and full of life, these prints are sure to brighten your most cherished spaces. Use them to spread joy in your own home, or give them as a thoughtful gift for loved ones to bring a smile to their face every day.

The Printmaking PRocess

Linocut is a printmaking process that creates relief art prints by carving an image into a linoleum block, covering the block in ink, and printing it onto paper.
Yes! That is a well-known reputation for the same material, but linoleum had an artistic past almost as long as its history underfoot.
First patented by Frederick Walton in 1860, linoleum was initially used mostly for floors. By the late 1800s, however, artists had started using it for printmaking. It was also a popular and artistic way to create repeating patterns for wallpaper and printing book covers.

In the 1900s, more and more artists started using linoleum as a serious art medium. A couple of renown artists who made well-known linocut pieces include Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.
While it may look similar, linoleum is a much harder consistency than rubber, allowing for finer details, larger sizes, and a unique artistic touch.
