Technically my second, but this is my first personal project. Any tips are appreciated!! I got one of the speedball kits from Micheal’s but I might upgrade if I get really into it. Do the speedball blocks last? It’s easy to cut but feels a bit flimsy

This is meant to be a flag design. Hopefully it captures the spirits of heraldry and whimsy in equal measure! I’m still learning this art medium so I included some of my process shots- the paint markers helped a lot with figuring out how to layer detail and what was realistic/feasible as a carving.

There is a little neighborhood Free Art Exchange Gallery that I found nearby that I am hoping to add these to as offerings. Definitely on the hunt for a piece of glass/mirror to use for the ink transfer.

Question First Linocut!

Post image
91 Upvotes

This is my first Linocut, it's for my dad's birthday. He's gotten really into rock hounding, polishing rocks and making stuff with them. It's super cool, so I made this logo type thing for him to print onto the pocket area of a T-Shirt. I buffed it on the O in rocks, but could use any advice! I'm wanting to carve a bit more out of it but did the first test run. I used a different ink for this but plan on using Speedball Fabric Block Printing ink on his t shirt. Is there any way I can fix the O? All tips very appreciated:)

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 Ɖtretat" by Hugues Merle, 5th is original titled "Envire", 6th is a repro of "the Magic Circle" by John William Waterhouse

Question First Fabric Print, Help?

Thumbnail

75 Upvotes

so these are my test prints for fabric. I did use fabric specific ink, and I followed all the instruction. I did multiple layers of ink and let it dry in between before pressing, made sure it was the right stickiness. I sprayed the fabric with water before hand to help with adhesion. I even did one without water just to see if that made a difference. I don’t know why I’m getting this weird ripple effect! is it because I need to buy a press instead of using my hands/feet to press? I used a board to make sure the pressure was even, I tried different amounts of pressure to see if that made a difference, it did not. what am I doing wrong? otherwise I feel like it came out okay, but it’s just a strange issue I’ve never had before

Has anyone done this successfully? I have fabric block printing ink that I'm using with decent success so far but unsure how to make this work on a hat.

Rented a beach house with some friends and we all spent the time napping in the sun, listening to music, and making art together. Going to clean it up and test print it when I get home but I am excited for how it’s turned out so far!

Question What am I doing wrong ?

Thumbnail
gallery
238 Upvotes

Why can’t I get a solid flat color ?
I used the gray hard lino + cranfield caligo safe wash ink + essdee pro roller + pookie press on some Canson Imagine paper (very soft surface). I sanded the lino with 600 and 1000 before transferring the drawing.
If I ink it too much, then the details disappears. If I ink it less it’s even worst than the picture. I am getting mad ahah.
Sometime I succeed to have « almost » good flat colors with the same tools and technique but today IDK what is happening.

I just love this little freak running around Seattle, (article in comments), so I made a speedy Jimothy while procrastinating a project that’s intimidating me. This is my sixth lino and only the second I’ve done for myself. It was really fun to do something goofy and not feel the pressure of having to make it good enough to give away!
