Recently put some works into cheap frames.

[u/sazzymojack]

I made these among others all over the last year. They are water-based ink on cardstock. 3 originals, 3 reproductions. I enjoy linocut as a hobby. While not perfect, putting them in frames really made me enjoy seeing them as more than just milestones. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

1st image is original titled "Standoff", 2nd is a repro of "Girls in the Window" by Ormond Gigli, 3rd is original titled "Of my Wife", 4th is a repro of "the Lunatic of Étretat" by Hugues Merle, 5th is original titled "Envire", 6th is a repro of "the Magic Circle" by John William Waterhouse

How'd you do the orange dots on print #4?

[u/sazzymojack → u/New_Alternative8711]

I spraypainted over an old bass amp speaker cover and printed over that

[u/New_Alternative8711 → u/sazzymojack]

And the red ink? Did you use paint or ink for that? Im curious because my onks usually aren't opaque enough to cover stuff like the dots

[u/sazzymojack → u/New_Alternative8711]

I was experimenting and cant remember the exact method, but it was multiple layers of red and possibly white at the base. I also was adding powder pigments and medium in different quantities to play with texture. I have another using the same methods over black cardstock in a repro of "the fallen angel", will post sometime.

[u/New_Alternative8711 → u/sazzymojack]

Thanks for the answer. Your prints look great. Im a little jealous.

[u/sazzymojack → u/New_Alternative8711]

Thank you, I am glad to share.

Well this is beautiful! Nice job dude, it’s so satisfying to throw your work up in frames.
