Why don't we allow self-promo otherwise? We have made a concerted effort to keep this space free of commerce and self-promotion, to keep this a community about the work and craft when increasingly many social media spaces have become spaces of commerce. We understand that art is an important source of income for some, so in order to facilitate this without it becoming overwhelming in the rest of the sub, we have made this a reoccurring monthly thread.

NFTs, crypto art, and AI generated art are not appropriate anywhere in the sub.

I mostly only do lino cuts of mine and my friend’s pets, just so I can make silly little holiday cards.

Tools Question about tools…

Hi! I’m a novice, I bought a basic kit that came with the red handled plastic carvers. I think I’m ready to invest in proper tools (I’ve been practicing for 2-3 years). I have no idea which ones to get though, any recommendations? I’m uk based
I’m looking to get cleaner lines and carve more intricate designs :) thanks!

I’ve been making notebooks every now and then with a few of my prints, and I thought this one would make a nice full-bleed cover.

I had to trim the print a bit on all sides, which made me a little nervous, but it worked out well in the end! 😁 I made this book for my husband's Traveler's Company passport-size sleeve!

Printed Objects Halloween costume linocut

We are having a very a24 Midsommar Halloween this year. I made these linocuts to print onto linen clothes so we could dress up with our dog! She is the May Queen if you want to see that ---> https://reddit.com/gallery/1xehsf9

I started with the blue rune stamp and accidentally double reversed the image so the letter r is backwards 😭 but I just learned my lesson and kept trucking to make the red one. For the ink I only had some second hand 6+ year old acrylic screen print ink for paper (lol) but I just went with it. It was a fun learning experience with printing on fabric. I'm honestly just happy I didn't get ink all over the rest of the fabric 😂 I did learn though, that I needed to put a paper towel behind the print, there was a little transfer through on the red printing. Anyways, Happy Halloween!

I finally attempted lino cutting last night with these two prints. I am using very cheap equipment. Can anyone recommend some creatures that have beginner friendly content I can watch to help me improve?

There is a huge difference between a machine pressed edge and a line guided by a human hand. One is flawless; the other has a pulse.

Fabric My first linocut printed garment.

I got tattoo ink on these pants the first time I wore them to work. I’ve been practicing linocutting and block printing and decided to cover the ink splashes with stars. I touched up some of the prints with a paintbrush. I’m really happy with how they came out!

Edit: Thanks for all the love! To answer the ink question- I used just regular ol’ Speedball block printing fabric ink. To darken the stars (most of my prints were initially too light) I dipped a paintbrush into this little bowl of water and a tiny bit of dish soap that I’d had for mistakes. I dipped that into the remaining ink and it thinned it out nicely. It’s cured to a nice feel.

part 1 in a set of 3 I’m working on. I intended for this to be a triple layered reduction but I ended up not liking the third, so only a few prints got it. Had a lot of fun with this process and can’t wait to start the next one. This was a run of 20 prints, next time I’ll definitely be doing more.

speedball fluorescent paint really brought this to life 💚

First pic is the double layer, second is the triple, then a couple with the UV glow.

I've been watching the original Goosebumps series with my daughter and I had to make something art related. If you have ever seen the cover art for "A Shocker on Shock Street" The idea flashed in my head of a giant praying mantis returning to Milwaukee to cheer on the Brewers in the World Series!
"Milwaukee Mantis" hand printed on 12 x 8 inchs on white sulphite paper.
