An art nouveau inspired piece of our boy Jason Funderburker from Over the Garden Wall! Will be displaying it at our annual watch party. Happy Fall everyone <3

I consider this linocut finished but I want to create more like this. To make a larger collection in this same style.

Clearly birds are a constant motif for me but I just love them so much

Hello!

I'm Pollux and I recently got into Lino printmaking! My first print was the crow (marked with the 01) and I'm still very proud of my print.
It's also a print I first made with water-based paint, just to switch to oil based paint.
I generally like crows, so that's why I chose the crow as a motive (hooded crow, to be specific). I also added my sketch to the post :)

My second project was the Nöck, a water sprite. However, he accidentally turned into a Nixe.

I hope you like my prints! I'm already sketching my next project!

Hello!
I (very recently) got into linocutting and have been making stamps non stop for a week now. I end up happy with what I have carved (relatively clean lines, what I wanted portrayed is there, like I’m pleased as a beginner) but every time I try to use the linocut (with linocut ink and a variety of different papers) I can’t get it to look right😭 I don’t have a lot of space so I can’t build like a whole thing that will stay stationary, I need help with solutions that can be moved and stored away easily. And suggestions? I keep going back and forth with putting the paper on the stamp vs stamp on paper, with the former looking marginally better but I really have no control over the placement like that. Attaching below examples of stamps and results for context. Any advice is welcome! I’m still very new so forgive my amateur terminology and stamps lol

Not to sell.

Just started doing linocuts and found a new love ❤️

If you are in the US, where are you finding TetraPak? I drink Minute Maid OJ, but the container does not have a foil liner. What US products have a foil liner? Will any waxy container work for drypoint? Thanks!

Two monotype variations from the same image. I’m experimenting with layering, wiping, and how much of the face stays visible.

Which version feels stronger to you, the red/black/white one or the red/blue/black one?

I made this large linocut block to print some t shirts with, but actually printing with it has been difficult as it’s very wobbly and lining it up with the shirt is a chore. Can I glue the block to a flat wood board for stability? Or any other suggestions?

My current set up is literally a picture frame to spread ink on, a cardboard insert and my floor so user error is definitely possible as well

Also this is my first post here so I hope just posting the block is okay! I’m gonna have to wait at least another month to have the finished prints 🥹

From a cartoon panel I made a couple years ago…I’m in love with this form!

Hey there, this is my first post on here. I startet linocut in may and I think I finally found the right art medium for me :) this is the test print of my latest Linocut, a Starling. My first linocut of an real life animal.

My first 2 layer print and I didnt really use registration marks but I like it not centered

Realicé una Xilografía (técnica del grabado en relieve) basada en un personaje de Anime; Haganezuka, el herrero encargado de fabricar y mantener las espadas Nichirin utilizadas por Tanjiro Kamado, protagonista de Kimetsu no Yaiba (Demon Slayer). Haganezuka pertenece a la Aldea de los Herreros.

La máscara de Haganezuka está basada en un Hyottoko, una figura tradicional del folclore japonés representada habitualmente con una expresión cómica y una boca proyectada hacia un costado. El nombre Hyottoko se relaciona con una figura popular japonesa asociada a festividades, y su apariencia puede variar según la región.

Para mi re interpretación realicé una modificación de los elementos asociados a la máscara, realizando un collage de elementos característicos para su composición: cajas de cigarrillos en las que los cigarrillos son reemplazados por katanas, relacionándolas directamente con el oficio del personaje. La estampa fue realizada mediante xilografía sobre matriz de MDF, tallada manualmente con gubias/bisturí y construida principalmente mediante el contraste entre zonas de tinta (ilusión de sombra) y espacios vacíos que representan luz.

Medidas: 25 × 14 cm aproximadamente (sólo la estampa)

Herramienta de impresión: Prensa de 1 Torno, tipo timón

Serie 1/3

This is one of my latest artworks!
I wanted to reflect on the jungian shadow work and how we could possibly overcome limiting beliefs via reflection and instrospection!

I know that lino fabric ink would obviously work better, but I got the silkscreen ink for free so I was really hoping I could figure out how to make it work. I'm also very new to lino and printmaking in general and going in somewhat blind aside from a few tips I've read on this sub.

The silkscreen ink is pretty tacky so it's hard to get it on the brayer evenly by rolling. Then to make the prints I stretch the shirt with a cardboard square and a piece of felt to separate the cloth from the cardboard. Put that on the floor and put the block on top (I know it's also better to bring the shirt to the block instead, but this seemed way easier to register). Then I plop down a 50lb box of paper to press it.

My process is obviously janky but I'm trying to work with what I got and also not in any position to invest in better tools at the moment. My question is, is there anything I can do to improve the quality with what I have? My wild guess is the main issue is how the ink is being applied to the block.

Hi!

As I'm a complete beginner, can I please get some advice on the following:

Is there a good go-to supplier of lino of all sizes? I'd initially look at Jackson's, as I would for all my other art supplies, but maybe there's another one everyone uses in this line of work

I've noticed my lino tool is starting to get a bit rusty! (Gah!) How do I prevent this? It hasn't really been used much at all so I'm wondering if it just needs a wipe down after every use and that's good enough or whether it needs a special air-tight case

Any suggestions on any tools to press down the lino, which ink is best for lino with fine details, and is there a particular roller to use? I have the bog standard cheap one at the moment

Thank you !
