The recipe is the style, not the picture. Put your own subject in and the prompt updates.

Prompt

A modernist block print in one single blue ink on cream paper: several panels side by side, each holding one face reduced to a few carved shapes, a curve for a jaw, two simple ovals for eyes, a wedge of hair. Ink uneven and patchy where the block did not fully take. Positive and negative reversed between panels so some faces are blue on cream and others cream on blue. No lettering.
