first try with block printing on a t shirt, turned out alright but not quite how i expected

current linocut stuff + wips

some small linocut prints :] golden metallic stag beetle and trachelophorus madagassus (relative of the giraffe necked weevil)

my art is finally in the exhibition!!!!!

I'm so happy :)

Real talk how are y’all not breaking your necks doing linocut? I’ve been hunched over carving for like 2 hours (with a break in the middle) and my neck is killing me. My hand too, my finger’s so sore from gripping the carving tool I think it was starting to affect my precision, had to call it a night.

Causally making self-portraits while not being able to look in the mirror IS the life im living rn.

Love the hot pink base, at least yk your girl healed in someways if not in others.

I decided to post the Blue and Black & White version of this art piece

I really enjoy using this technique but on rare occasions since it uses up a lot of materials

Plus I need to leave the piece underneath a very heavy book for some period of time since I don't have a press haha

If you're interested these are the cut outs I carved out

On the left you have the main cut out and on the right the background. As you can tell I cut some corners when working on the background, you see nothing!

Removing colour from these takes some time but it's very relaxing haha

It's called the Linocut technique I believe

I will definitely post more of these. I just need to buy more linoleum haha

Have a wonderful day! ❤️

linocut practice on erasers!
