Block Printing - Tumblr Posts
I started to learn how to do linocutting and printmaking a couple months ago & finally made a big print! It’s inspired by the townspumpkins from Pottsfield in Over the Garden Wall. This portrait is from the Victorian era and this guy is the mystical Uncle Silas. 🎃🍂✨
Carved and printed this smoll frog wizard tarot card for a sweet human. Working on a lot of stuff lately! I’ll share some soon.

Final linocut based on a fragment of Hugo Simbergs 'Garden of Death' (1873-1917)
an old lino print i cant find the original stamp for (i cannot remember what type of animal skull it is)
I Made it!
“Bird skull” linocut on handmade paper
The first sheet of paper is made of newspapers and very fine chilli powder, the paper is yellowish and slightly stinging when touched by the hands; the print was made on recycled lined paper from an old 70s school notebook.
The second sheet is made by recycling paper from medicine leaflets, chopped very fine and boiled for 3 hours. The color is given by a natural coloring powder that comes from Romania (it's a gift from friends). The print is made on a cardboard cutout.
The third sheet is made by recycling newspapers and magazines, plus I added handmade paper confetti during the process of draft the pulp. The gray color is that of recycled paper without the addition of whiteners or dyes. The texture is pretty gross. Once again the print was made on a scrap of cardboard.
This is my second time using making a lino stamp! My first one was too embarrassing to post, but I really like how this one turned out!
first time trying out lino printing. gotta practice some more, but i think this guy is funky
Work has been exhausting for the last couple of months, but now life has calmed down a little for a brief moments, I've done a few more carvings.
The small skull was done a few days ago, and the bat was carved today :) Still experimenting and practicing with techniques. Welcome feedback and advice!
Two of my most complicated linocuts I finished so far.
