Style: Hairline Gouge Relief [ https://justrobstyles.com/s/hairline-gouge-relief ] Everything gets ground down to black ink on paper: no grey, no soft edges, just knife-cut shapes that either print solid or don't print at all. Tone has to be earned through line spacing, so shadows arrive as bands of swelling gouge strokes and the bare paper whites read as shapes in their own right. Model: gpt-image-2

Prompt: Ukiyo-e brush-line keyblock printing + Expressionist wordless-novel woodcut + Nabis-era black-and-white woodcut, where brush-drawn keyblock line creates rhythmic curving contours through carved strokes that swell and taper from hairline to bold, gouge work produces dense unbroken black masses via white lines cut out of solid ink, and Nabis-era woodcut infuses grey-free flat planes in which uncarved paper white works as active shape. The fusion manifests as one black ink on white paper, hard knife-cut edges, and tone built only from line spacing, transforming any subject through pure two-value relief printing.
