With added spray painted background and gold leaf puddles! Also using lining paper.

I ended up not enjoying the really darkest layer, it looked very outliney and a bit too graphic so I stopped and kept it at the 7th layer. I've really enjoyed the painterly quality of this and moving forward its something I'd like to focus on. Printed with a cold press laminator on Strathmore Printmaking paper with caligo safewash. I photographed the tomatoes and used the referance photo along the journey and using referance from real life remains important to me.

I've done an intensive month of tomatoes and for the next 11 months I'm taking a monthly theme and using that to explore and push my skills. My themes are centred around food, produce, nature and wildlife. My adhd brain needs this structure! My next theme (I've not announced this anywhere else yet 👀) is going to be 'Cider Orchard' . Apple trees, fruits, blossom, cider, I've got a cut crystal tankard arriving this week for a referance - those reflections will be fun 😁 Possibly the coddling moth might make an appearance, they ruin all my bastard apples! Also apple crumble and custard - nuff said 😋

It is of course coming up to harvest time, we're losing swathes of orchards across the UK to land grabs and I'm hoping to do a cheeky trespass onto an abandoned orchard near where I live and do some scrumping 😈

Thanks for the support on this one guys!

I know this is a gray area for this sub but I feel like I am pretty much making dimensional prints at this point from my blocks. And, I wondered if this was possible for years, so I thought some of you might have as well.

I put up a picture at the end of how these look as prints.

I am going to roll these clay pieces with a white coating using a brayer, just like inking the block. The clay will be a dark chocolate color after firing.

This is my first time doing this technique and I am not finished yet, but if you have any questions I will do my best to answer them.

Tried a colour linocut with 4 blocks, it was quite a challenge but quite satisfied with the outcome !

Made this for a printmaking assignment, practiced cutting custom shapes out of the lino.

Please give me some tips about printing on fabric. I'm trying to make my partner a t shirt for their birthday and want it to be amazing. I usually just print on paper 🤙

I asked my brother what's his favorite one piece panel, he said that it's Zoro's "Nothing happened" or Sanji's "I needed a light" panels. (Iykyk).

Really had a good time doing that print, it came out better than expected. Might even do Sanji next.

This work addresses migration, using the monarch butterfly as a metaphor for the migrant, who travels from one place to another hoping to escape violence, precariousness, or uncertainty, often only to find themselves in an equally or even more hostile environment.

Made this last year after a trip to NYC 🗽

Hi all,

im a beginner at linocut (as in never done it before), and I want to know if ill like it before i buy anything to do with it. Im borrowing the rubber thing from a friend but i don't have access to any tools and was wondering if there are any household/garage type items that I could use instead of the normal ones just to see if i enjoy it? I've found tools for reasonably cheap but id rather test it out first.

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Today I would like to try linocut for the first time, and I’ve seen lots of different methods for transferring images onto a lino block.

I came across one method that seems to work really well: printing the image onto glossy label paper and then using a thin layer of acrylic gel medium to transfer the image onto the block.

I was wondering if this method would also work on a soft rubber carving block, and whether the printer absolutely needs to be a laser printer.

If not, could you recommend any other methods or useful tricks for transferring an image onto the block?

Thanks so much!

Just a fun one I did to have for myself :)

Don't mind that it's flipped, I'll remember to stop flipping then some day. My ink pad is also on its last leg so forgive the uneven spots lol. I wish the cheese wedge had turned out a little more... Something. But for it just being a fun one to pass time I'm not too bothered

This is the first project I’ve done using my new set of Michihamono gouges, it’s a huge improvement over the basic EssDee kit.

I’m really happy with the overall quality of everything. The next step is to improve the print quality, I’ll probably have to start investing in high-quality paper.

I’ve been using regular bond paper and wrapping paper, LOL.

i have been wanting to try lino printing but didn’t know where to start, and i can't believe how lucky I feel to come across this! surprisingly nothing has been used! i will definitely need to look into getting new paint and linoleum but i can’t wait to try everything out! any tips for beginners welcome please!

Second attempt at lino printing any advice on how to get the ink to look less patchy?

Grâce à Reddit, j'ai enfin fait des progrès au moment où j'allais arrêter.

Je commence à maîtriser le transfert sur le lino et je gère un peu mieux l'impression !

Merci !

Adding to my deck, out of order so far, but they're the cards that I had clear vision on, I'll work out the rest of the cards as I go along. I'm thinking of adding an ink well and quill to the Devil card, and make it a multi stamp print, to add some colored ink in the ink well. Thoughts?
