The Puffin Man

Today I met Lars Erik Karlsen (he told me sometimes people refer to him as "The Puffin Man"). Oh, his work is so wonderful! He showed me his studio, prints, and presses. He uses multiple blocks and prints up-side-down on an electric press. He said he never uses white so that the paper can really show through. The colors he uses are so vibrant and alive, they truly represent how he sees the nature of Lofoten.




He also said he liked my work and to keep it up. I don't think I could have smiled any bigger.
