JAN HAMSTRA












Jan Hamstra is an illustrator and printmaker whose work is based in the relief printmaking techniques. He hand-carves all his imagery from wood or linoleum and adds to it digitally, though always maintaining a traditional look. Jan likes to divide his time working on a wide range of commissions and creates silkscreen gig posters for Vera Groningen. He dreams of one day running his own printshop. His clients include De Volkskrant, Theater Bremen, Grand Theatre Groningen and Goethe-Institut Israel.
