after all...why shouldn't I?

Are there any prints where you have the urge to collect more copies and hoard them? 😅 So far I've only felt this way towards egg truck and now doughnut car. Anyway. If anyone wanted to enable me/trade doughnut car, I'd love to send you one of my own miniprints (photos of some here)

homemade prints for trade

hi all, I made a few small sets of miniprints (out of some of my older digital art), and I'd love to trade if you're interested! These were all drawn by me (on my ipad in procreate) and are printed on cardstock & signed in pen. Similar to my linocut original miniprints, these are cut by hand to 2.5x3.5" so there may be some small imperfections.

The cat meme tarot card was directly referencing a tumblr post way way back, and the birds are 3 in the Turdidae family ✨ (Eastern Bluebird, Veery, and Wood Thrush) and 5 warblers.

special edition ducks!

hi all, I have some special Ruddy Duck prints that are mixed media and numbered/editioned (to help me send more money to a friend who needs support).

These are original linocut prints in a few varieties! Within the first printing set of 8, 1-7 are stamped with 3 inks ("classic" coloring) or 2 blue inks, and carefully colored with a bunch of prismacolor pencils. The last one (8/8) has a black pen outline and alcohol markers instead of prismacolors. These prints are $15 each due to the amount of time it took coloring.

I wanted to offer a lower price too, so I have a second set using just one ink (a very finicky french ultramarine which I think is lovely but the ink pad came over saturated so I rarely use it alone as it hinders consistent prints) with minimalist brush pen outlines, asking $10 each as they're truly limited edition 😅

I'm also happy to offer my usual $5 for a non-numbered Ruddy Duck (would ink fresh and send a photo if interested)! Thank you so much as always.

lantern linoprints

happy monday! sharing my recent linocut, and for the last few days of pride month, an old digital drawing I did of a trans cow with the same plant

fuchsia✨

special edition fuchsia linocuts! these are ~mixed media~ (black pen outline on top of the sparkle) and available for my standard $5 each.

tbh numbering stresses me out a bit, so I'll also have my standard (non editioned) lino miniprints of these available, with a purple pen outline. I was thinking more about it too and moving fwd I'll be labeling & initialing my lino prints in pencil instead of pen :3 thanks so much for all the support on my linocuts it's been very sweet!

update: the three numbered prints are claimed!

hot fish!

I completely forgot I got this as part of a fishwife order, years ago (before I knew what linocut was & started making linocuts myself)! Love the colors and this little business card it came with

Blackburnian Warbler

recent lino! priced higher at $10 due to the number of inks (5) and complexity of multiblock stamping (please expect some variation!) 🌿

2 new lino prints

These are both secretly NYC inspired! I've been craving the onigiri from Katagiri, and the lily of the valley is referenced off the delicate House of Fabergé sculpture at The Met.

I also couldn't resist rainbow onigiri so they're available in six colors + hot pink (not shown here) 🌈

Recently bought more ink pads and immediately knew the "rose madder" color would be perfect for this guy

"b grade" offer

Hi all! I recently carved these two but they're proving to be really tricky to stamp consistent, clean prints (to the point it would not be feasible for me to offer the miniprint at a reasonable price 😅).

I do really love these, so I'm going to experiment with photographing my cleanest ones & printing (with a printer onto cardstock?). In the meantime, if anyone is interested, I do have these "B grade" prints shown here at a reduced price of $2 each (+ $1 shipping).

While every linocut print naturally has variation and imperfection from hand inking & printing, I do hold mine to a pretty high standard and these did not meet it for me. I've seen other artists offer b-grades as a cheaper option and way to reduce waste, and I really liked the idea! Please do zoom in to see the specific print's imperfections, and I'm happy to provide any closer up photo! Thanks as always!!!

EDIT: all claimed, tysm!

Most recent linocut, carved & inked yesterday! I'm hoping to see a Rose-breasted Grosbeak sometime soon as I know they're back in my area now

So delighted with how he came out! 🥀 Linocut has been such a welcome distraction lately, and I've gotten so much inspiration and support here- a huge thank you ❤️

This print is going to be an exclusive fundraising one (for the grandmother of a family I care about to receive cancer treatment) so it's priced higher at $12 and will only be available this week. I'm also leaving them un-labeled and not initialed but happy to add either!
