Lino-Block Printing
It's always fun and exciting to do something for the first time, but I seriously wonder why I hadn't printed using linoleum before. I loved it. Carving the block seemed to be a very familiar process mimicking the sgraffito technique I've used in ceramics for years. The biggest challenge for me is pulling a really sharp and even print. I'm a bit of a perfectionist when it comes to "human made" works. There are more prints in the studio trash can than on the drying rack. I'll post some finished prints when I feel they're good enough, but for now here are a couple of the original carved linoleum blocks. "Allie Gator", Lino-Block "Unstable Genius", Lino-Block
