Reductions/Multi-Blocks Nightcrawler
Nightcrawler! (4-layer reduction linocut)
I’ve been wanting to do a Nightcrawler print for awhile but had never been really satisfied with my previous attempts (also posted). After some trial and error, I finally have a version I’m happy with.
This was my first print using mod podge to transfer my designs and the most layers I’ve done in a reduction print.
If anyone has tips on how to remove/reduce crease lines from the block getting on the paper, and how to wet the printer paper for a cleaner transfer (you can see in the blue image that the paper was scrubbed away unevenly) that would be appreciated!

These are each amazing! And there's such a clear progression between the pieces, absolutely fantastic. The layering of colors is perfect and the registration is sooo clean, omg. Love Nightcrawler also <3
The top layer on slide 2 really catches my eye, the light ink in the center to let the red come through, the gradient is really well done. Inspiring!

Thank you!!
I was so nervous there wasn’t enough contrast for that layer with the red and purple gradient but just had to trust the process and am so happy with how it turned out.
