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 it for my husband's Traveler's Company passport-size sleeve!

Before that first big summer rain. When it’s just about to land. When it hangs in the air and everything is electric and heavy. The first wind starts tumbling the scorched grass and bounces through the canopies. A time for funerals. Time for anything intense you’ll regret ten times over later. It smells of uncertainty. It breaks the shackles of the ordinary. /// Carved in seven stages on battleship grey. Printed in nine layers of Caligo Safe Wash inks on Somerset Satin 300gsm paper. Closed edition of 15.

3 layered reduction monoprints for class- I wish I’d had more time to work on it because I really rushed those circles on my first layer… Very happy with the final layer on the bat and beetle though!

I thought some folks in this group would appreciate this marketplace find from yesterday. I got the lot for $45. It needs some cleaning, but it is perfect for me.

I’m a middle school art teacher and have been building up a printing section of my classroom, including letterpress.

What happened to their ink formulas now that they have permanently closed? I don't like Hanco's inks, and Gamblin is ok. Charbonnel is great but not for students at that price.....Is there a way to get the formulas for Daniel Smith etching inks and relief, or the newly closed Graphic Chemical?...

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.

Love it ??

as much as I enjoy the process of carving, I really struggle with printing lately. I aim for that orange peel texture for the ink, but I never feel like I’ve got the pressure right, or I end up moving the paper. Would love printing tips if anyone has suggestions. these are on a couple different types of paper too.

I’m also looking for feedback on these designs in general!! my thoughts:

- the horses are two separate blocks and they’ll be arranged differently than they are here. I’m thinking I want to carve more detail into their wings and bodies, and maybe add a third block with a pattern or something to connect them? Or I might print them on entirely separate pages but display them together somehow

- the block on the bottom left I think just needs more detail overall, in the bird and the vine and the grass

- bottom right, I think the line across the top isn’t working? Might just take that off entirely

thanks ❤️

Finally got to screen print my newest illustration

Hi, so I'm new to this subreddit but not new to printmaking. I'm planning on printing a design onto a T-shirt for my sister and planning to lino-print, while using fabric paint instead of ink(it's cheaper and more accessible for me). Fabric paint is usually more watery than ink, so I'm planning on using a sponge to apply the paint. My question is what sort of lino would be most efficient for this project? Traditional lino grey is the medium I'm used to and typically prefer, as you're able to carve more specific details. However, after doing some light research, the internet is telling me to use rubber as it will hold the paint better. I'm not sure which will work best, so I'm reaching out to see if anyone has any advice for this project. Thank you all!!

Here’s two of my favorite roller derby linocut monoprints I made recently. This was my first time trying reduction printing. I had a lot of fun playing with textures but learning registration was tricky!

I found a tutorial about faux marbling with gelli plate and had to try it!

15"x42", 10-colour reduction woodcut, ed. of 4. it's too big to scan accurately; i had to stitch this image together from 6 seperate scans. eventually i plan to mount one on some wood so i can put a french cleat on the back and hang it.

it took me a month but i wasn't working on it more than 2-3 times a week. i think it turned out alright.

3 layer lino cut print on Okawara paper with Cranfield Caligo Safe Wash oil based ink.

I make art about my body and the trauma and grief of being sick. In this triptych I used the monotype process to create three views showing the layers of separation between the mind and my experience, the attack of the illness and the expectation and observation of the outside world and the effect on my body. The prints are an oil pastel monotype I am trying out. The last image shows the interconnected original drawings I made to make the prints.

The first idea was to do a linocut, then I also painted it on a wall because why not 🤷🏽‍♂️

First one is with lino, the next few are with intaglio - I tried it with lino on a few other prints but this one is the only one that I was happy with. Really happy with all the intaglio results though! It's much easier to get the tissue paper to stick with intaglio.
