LINO PROOF

I finished the final cut (except for proof changes) on the Linocut I've been working on. Seems like it's been a year long project, but probably only about thirty hours in real time! Pulled a proof last night and I'll make a few little adjustments then pull a seven print edition. I need to be a bit more attentive to my baren pressure as this linoleum is glued to a block of wood which seems to have a warp in it.

THREE BLOCK LINO

I have started a new linocut and pulled prints from the first (background) block. Also started cutting the second block which will be the flower. The third and last block will be of the hummingbird and will be done with the reduction process. I ran this first block through my press to try and keep an even inking. The others will probably be done with a baren.
