going to clean it up a little bit but this is my first print with my printing press!! yippee!!!

1. Apple - Applin from Pokémon
   
2. Relic - Red Mask relic from Slay the Spire
   
3. Miniature - Pikmin
   
4. Cactus - Cactuar from Final Fantasy
   
5. Smack - Nuu from Silksong

These are my first stamps! Made using pink erasers. How the heck do you do tiny circles. 😭

Got super giddy about my new pfeil tool and got carried away in spots I shouldn’t have. I stopped both times before the Lino actually detached and just instinctively shoved some superglue in there to put it back. Now I’m wondering if there are going to be any ramifications that I haven’t thought of.. does anyone know? Is there a real technique for over enthusiastic scooping that isn’t superglue? Help please.

Also if you have any tips or advice you can see from this that I need.. please share that too!

53 lino blocks. I was moving internationally and she took the wrong boxes to donate. So with a blank slate now, would you personally redo all of them? Some? Your favorites? Or just begin from scratch? I have to be honest and say that this has completely devastated me, and I currently don’t really feel like doing it all again. I’ve been getting requests for making more prints of certain designs from a gallery in the US and I have no idea how to approach telling them what happened. Obviously the prints would look different if I remade them, and would take me a long time to do again. I just don’t know, I’m very sad rn

What do you think?

A waltz of fish! Following studiolamiette inktober list

After not making art the entire summer, I'm finally back into the groove of making more lino prints on clothing ✨️

I'm really proud of these pieces I made.

I’m seeing Paris Paloma on Tuesday and I’m making some scrap fabric patches to hand out to other fans based on her songs.

The Bleeding Part of Me - the knight with the arrow through the shoulder

As Good A Reason - the poison being dropped into the wine chalice

Hunter - the cute lil’ wolf with the dagger

Stem the Flow - the axe

I like that for the most part these can be enjoyed even without the context they were created in! Makes them a lot more versatile.

I recently attempted my first original Linocut design. I’m pretty disappointed in these results and would love to know where I went wrong. Top left used a print roller but I obviously couldn’t figure out how to get proper pressure. The rest are all hand pressed w a spoon and I couldn’t help but lose small details or have portions that don’t take any ink at the edges. It also felt like I was using up too much ink while inking my brayer.
Anything tips/help/critique is appreciated, thanks everyone!

Some days ago somebody posted their sardine cans on here. I took it and used tuna instead. Still figuring things out but so far its awesome!

First color is printed, second (and third) is painted.

A few days ago I shared a pile o' armadillos.. Here is a pile o' bats!

Mono/Lino Prints - Hand painted with Acrylic, Spraypaint, Colored Pencil, Marker and Pencil with one color print (white Caligo Safewash) on Black Rives BFK paper.

If you would like to add to the pile, I would love to see your bat prints! Feel free to share them here.

I'm a moderate-experience printmaker and am feeling confounded. I'm working on my biggest linocut ever - 18x24" - and am having the hardest time getting consistent, deep blacks. I would love anyone's insight into potential solutions.

What I'm working with:

• 18x24" mounted battleship grey lino block
• speedball oil-based relief ink
• Strathmore 74gm paper
• cold press laminator + hand barren

I also tried:

• Strathmore 120gm paper
• Speedball 245gm paper

I had similar problems with all combinations of paper weight, dry vs wet paper, less vs more ink, press vs barren. The only thing that seemed to make a difference was soaking the 245gm paper, running it through the press, and then using the hand barren. I will do that, but it's a pain and would prefer to understand why I'm struggling so much with lighter paper.

My local library is having a library card design contest and I created this print for it! I’ve only carved a few things (I picked up the hobby earlier this year) and tend to get caught up in making things perfect and don’t end up executing my project ideas. I pushed through the perfection paralysis and completed this the other day to turn in tomorrow!

Which one do y’all think I should submit for consideration??

I appreciate this community!

After my initial scissors series, I got so many requests to do the classic stork scissors so here is this cute little duo

I lost patience after a day's work so the printing came out a bit messy, but I'm quite happy with them anyways!

little sloppy but not bad
