Print Exchange 2026: Maxim Pogorelov

I chose to make a parrot since I have 2 budgies in my house, and I found that they show a lot more attitude than it seems on the surface. In printmaking, I have learnt that it’s much easier to carve out what you want if you do a guideline inside it first. Then, by starting from any point of your outline, you can start to carve out everything inside your shape.
