I am fairly new to printmaking but am really loving it so far. Here is the first linocut I designed myself, a print I made of my dog :)

Hand coloured (with gouache) linocut on rice paper. 27 x 25cm. I've been procrastinating about this one for a couple of months. Not sure about the blue background.

During a 3 day exhibition in Bremen I designed and carved this little guy here. this is just a first testprint and there are quite some details to add...

Made this little stamp after I remembered the Talavera tiles that are in my grandparents house and added the skull cause I’m practicing for an other idea I have for a bigger print

This is my very first print. I mostly paint with watercolors, so this was a challenge for me. But I really like the process of cutting, it's very mediating. Do you guys know a way to combine linocutting and watercolors?

I'm a writer and never really worked in (non-electronic) visual media. Had a ton of lino blocks left over after a session of this art salon I host, where the guest facilitator gave a carving and printmaking demo.

These quick and dirty babies have been so much fun to carve. I don't foresee myself getting into printmaking in any any serious way, but I think I have definitely found a new way to relax for an hour in the evening. I'll share some prints later this week.

Big fan of all the beautiful work in this sub.
