Leather Art

Leather art, leather carving, leather tooling

Storytelling on tanned leather is uniquely created to last using the best products and archival treatment available.

Ian combines photography, illustration (traditional and digital), painting, carving, embossing, and dying skills mounted on hardboard or brushed aluminium sign ply.

Leather carving origins

Leather art has been enjoyed for centuries and its origins are lost in history. The original craft involved carving, tooling, and dying simple designs on treated animal hides.

Reproduction products

Completed artworks are photographed and digitized for reproduction on multiple media, including canvas prints, fine art papers, corrugated iron, fashion wear, household items, and games.
