A Three-Color Linocut and a Permission Slip to Rest
"Rest is Not a Crime" is a three-color, hand-pulled linocut from California-based printmaker Shang Daili. The image — a cat curled up and asleep on a floating lotus / lily pad — pairs with a line that her customers tend to repeat back to her: rest is not a crime. It's a small print that does quiet work on a wall, the kind of piece people hang above a desk, in a bedroom, in a studio, or anywhere they want a low-volume daily reminder to slow down.
The print is made the slow way. Three separate carved linoleum blocks, each printed in registration by hand, building the image one color layer at a time. The inks are solvent-free printmaking inks made from linseed oil and lightfast pigments, printed onto 300 gsm acid-free cotton paper with hand-torn deckle-style edges. The combination — heavy cotton paper, traditional oil-based relief inks, multi-layer registration — is what separates a hand-pulled print from a digital reproduction, and is also why each impression has small, individual variations. Available as a print on its own or framed in black wood with museum glass.
Three-Color Linocut, Hand-Pulled and Hand-Torn
- Three-color hand-pulled linocut — three carved blocks, three layers of ink, each one printed in registration by hand.
- Original printmaking, not a digital giclée or photographic reproduction.
- Solvent-free printmaking inks made from linseed oil and lightfast pigments — the same traditional materials used in fine-art relief printing.
- Printed on 300 gsm acid-free cotton paper with hand-torn (deckle-style) edges for a handmade finish on every side.
- 8" × 10" paper size — easy to frame in any standard 8 × 10 mat or off-the-shelf frame.
- Each print is unique: small variations in ink coverage and registration are inherent to multi-block hand printing.
- Two formats: print only, or framed in black wood with museum glass (framed option ships within the US only).
- Print-only orders ship flat in protective, plastic-free packaging — never folded or rolled.
- Pairs with the matching "Rest is Not a Crime" 2.5" vinyl sticker and 30 mm enamel pin for a layered gift set.
