r/Linocuts

Definitely still a beginner but I worked really hard on this project!! Any tips appreciated!

Easy carve and speedball water based ink.

Always trying to make one linocut a day each time work on one I'm thinking of the next one lol

1 is inspired by an old poster

2 Geronimo

3 Ian Curtis joy division

4 Hind rajab

5 Grey owl

6 Macho man 😎

7 celtic manuscript from Wales

8 I seen an interesting detail work on an art deco building inspired the linocut

I am currently recreating in exact scale the Kollwitz Krieg Series, and have been studying the woodcuts from the German expressionists post WWI. This self portrait is an hommage to Kollwitz who created numerous self portraits, a few I have been lucky to visit and a collector of my work now owns one of her early copperplate etching prints of her 1910 self portrait. Mine is inspired by her post Krieg Series woodcut self portrait of 1924 and contains similar dimensions and use of negative space.

Approximately 6 inches vertical by 7 inches horizontal

got some really cool texture from a build up of ink on my brayer after a long day of fabric printing. Decided to see how it would transfer onto paper and ended up with 6 prints with unique textured backgrounds!!

I am not new to lino printing, I am a textile student and do this often in classes. I’ve recently picked it up as a hobby but it’s not coming out as it does in classes? I use acrylic paint and acrylic medium. I’ve ruined a shirt because my printing comes out poor.

My latest linoprint “White-top Pitcher Plant”.

The White-top Pitcher Plant is a carnivorous, herbaceous perennial indigenous to the Florida Panhandle, prized for its striking white-topped pitchers with red/purple venation. It is listed as endangered in Florida.
We have Tarkiln Bayou Preserve State Park here in Pensacola to view the endangered white-top pitcher plant and it’s such a awesome sight to see.… show hashtags

Not the cleanest print, but I am just so fond of these spiders!
(Cross and marbled orb weavers :-))
Thanks for looking!

Trying a tile style! Some creased a bit but will try to fix that for next run.

I love my latest print. It’s so much fun printing in red ink too. Who remembers these fish?

New to linos! Been making lots of pet prints for my friends :)

i personally love chatter from linocuts, i do know its not everyones thing though!:)

It’s been about a year since I saw a California condor for the first time IRL at Pinnacles NP. I created this piece to help raise funds for an organization that does great work caring for/releasing these majestic birds. 🥹 This is my first print using archival inks and I’m pretty happy with how they turned out. I’m still new to printmaking and I feel like I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this level of detail with my speedball inks. Open to any/all feedback or input though — I’ve seen some *incredible* bird prints here and I’m wanting to keep exploring!

First attempt at linocut. A little messier than I hoped. Could do with more clearing away in the empty spaces. Also, mistakenly bought silver ink instead of black ink, but luckily had some black construction paper.

Open to feedback or tips. The lines on the pelican turned out a bit thicker than intended. Is that just the carving, or would amount of pressure/ink make them thicker too?

Lino prints move perfectly into the tattoo world.

Even if the prints don't turn out "perfect" - the sound of my roller on the ink is amazing, I need me some more!

Any advice for an experienced but rusty user for mixing ink colors and the best way to clean up?

My recent print featuring my favorite bird!

Blimey, this is turning into a right palaver. Made duplicate windows, and carved them to start creating the window shadows/shapes etc. It’s looking like a complete mess and I’m getting a lot of weird looks in the studio. It won’t really look like anything until the very last layer… so holding out hope for then. On the next print run i might try and print the colour layers without waiting for the previous layer to dry to help them merge a bit (and also save time) let’s see! Shouldn’t be too long to go now. Well that’s what I’m telling myself anyway

Here's some step-by-steps of printing a bat lino onto shirts! It's my first time using white fabric ink, so I've been extremely careful with how it looks. I've gotten the fronts done today, hoping to finish a design for the back of the tees tomorrow and a sleeve design after that. Wish me luck!
