THE STORY · THE REAL ORIGIN
BLOT was cut by hand.
This page is not part of the fiction. It documents how the character was actually made.
PROVENANCE
BLOT is an original character. He originates from the handmade linocut artwork shown on this site.
The block was cut by hand by Kyler, inked by hand and printed by hand. Each impression was signed and numbered by him.
Everything that follows — the dimensional character, the comic pages, future animation, collectibles and figures — comes from those sheets of paper.
The artwork came first. Everything else is built on it.
