Linocut Project

I carved this image onto a linolium plate with carving knives. Once the image is carved, I roll ink over the entire plate and then send it through the press.

Here's the image printed on a sheet of paper. The classic tale of the lumberjack uppercutting a bear with a knife (the bear has a knife).

Last Monotype

This was actually the first print I did. I thought it turned out fairly chaotic, which is what I wanted! It's a little hard to tell at first, but the image is of a boat on rough seas.

More Monoprints

Panda! Kept it simple with a lot of negative space. I think it turned out fairly well.

Portrait I did freehand off of a picture on my phone. A little squished, but I like the strokes in his beard.
