Linocut - Tumblr Posts

my instaaaa

this is a lino print that i hand pulled (printed by hand)

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!

I'm trying to get better about remembering to post my art here, I started on SSRIs and am feeling so much better, but that still doesn't help with my ADHD. *L*

I made a new skull lino print

Raised You From Perdition II

Linocut + chine colle, handprinted

I wanted to try out a new (for me) printing techniqe and here’s the result. Not perfect and a bit shabby, I guess it’s ok for a first time 😉

I used acrylic paint, blue and red crepe paper and glue spray on paper.

B/W linocut version of the print here.

returning to my roots with some hannibal fanart, this time in lino print form! you can get these in my shop, rejka.bigcartel. com

I found an amazing artist named John Fleissner, a teacher who makes art prints and murals relating to many social issues and I wanted to share the education related ones here. I highly encourage you to check out his website where you can see more of his works and read his mission statement.

i've been making a lot of bad art lately which is one of the world's most healing activities but if you have perfectionist tendencies you really have to commit to volume (if you make ONE bad painting it's just a bad painting whereas if you make 20 it's a meditative practice!). unfortunately we live in a one bedroom apartment and now we have to commit a significant portion of our storage to bad paintings. i would recycle them but unfortunately i need spare bad paintings to weave together into bad papercraft!!

anyway so i decided to move my bad artmaking into a new, smaller sphere and make bad linocuts. and let me tell you. if you are trying to get past thinking "my art should be good," linocut is a wonderful teacher. everything can be going great and then you exert slightly too much palm pressure and WHOOPS! sliced the face off. luckily the craft is so niche that negative self-talk can't really stick to it. i'll think something like "everybody else's linocuts are perfect. nobody else fucked up their linocut of a hot lady sphinx." and this is such a patently bananas sentence that i can simply laugh fondly at it and continue hacking away at my little rubber square. recommend

Planning for a lino cutting! I might do some practice mushroom stamps soon :) I’m so excited for print making✨

Another lino carving concept 😊 I like this one now too… one more maybe?

Linoleum print all inked up and pretty✨

I might thicken the lines a bit more and see if I can get some more clean prints, but I love how this came out 🥰

Fun in the flowers 😊🌼

Moths in the dark ✨ .

The design for the larger linocut I’ll be working on✨ my hands are going to be so tired 😬 I'm also going to try mixing inks to make the blue areas a pretty green! We will see how it goes 😌
