Daniel Hokusai - Artist, Woodblock Carving & Printer 

Woodblock print by Daniel Hokusai featuring gothic skeleton and dinosaur claw design

 Daniel Hokusai 1st Woodblock Print - SkelClaw

This one-of-a-kind woodblock print features a gothic skeletal hand with dinosaur-like, clawed forms, inspired by fossil imagery and speculative human evolution. The design references an imagined, undiscovered species of human — one that may have possessed velociraptor-like speed, the ability to move on all fours, and the strength to overpower prey.

 

Drawing on medieval and gothic influences, the artwork evokes imagery of abandoned castles and mythic figures such as Dracula, blending historical atmosphere with dark fantasy. The result is a contemporary woodblock art print that invites interpretation and storytelling, making it a striking and thought-provoking addition to any interior.

 

Printed as a high-quality woodblock print, this piece is ideal for collectors of contemporary and gothic art. It serves as a strong conversation piece and a unique example of original British woodblock artwork. The print is available to purchase via the Buy Now button below.
