I've seen a lot of cool prints here done with this technique, so I wanted to have a go at it myself. There's spots I want to fix, but overall these test prints went way better than expected. Caligo Safe Wash Ink on Hosho Paper.

Finally started printing and only a week after my sister's birthday this time (time managment with lino printing is not yet my strong suit).

Very proud of this one :) any critiques are welcome of course im always trying to improve

Just finished printing these vintage jeans.

I've only been in this hobby a week and I love it! Just practising techniques atm!

The falling cat was my first go and the skull/cat/fish my second go at carving (it still needs some touch ups ) (Printed on fabric with water based screen ink, which is abit too wet but I'm making it work

Thanks !!! 😁

Made these for someone who won't see them, who doesn't want them, and that I miss deeply. Thank you for looking.

I made a big carving mistake on the third layer and decided to just make design choices on the fly and push through. I'm pretty happy considering, but I'll likely try this again.

Carved onto Speedball pink stamp block and stamped with Ranger Distress Archival ink pads. Interested in feedback if anyone has any, but mostly just wanted to share! I love Ōkami. I can never fully escape this game lol

This is meant to be a flag design. Hopefully it captures the spirits of heraldry and whimsy in equal measure! I’m still learning this art medium so I included some of my process shots- the paint markers helped a lot with figuring out how to layer detail and what was realistic/feasible as a carving.

There is a little neighborhood Free Art Exchange Gallery that I found nearby that I am hoping to add these to as offerings. Definitely on the hunt for a piece of glass/mirror to use for the ink transfer.

Technically my second, but this is my first personal project. Any tips are appreciated!! I got one of the speedball kits from Micheal’s but I might upgrade if I get really into it. Do the speedball blocks last? It’s easy to cut but feels a bit flimsy

This is my first Linocut, it's for my dad's birthday. He's gotten really into rock hounding, polishing rocks and making stuff with them. It's super cool, so I made this logo type thing for him to print onto the pocket area of a T-Shirt. I buffed it on the O in rocks, but could use any advice! I'm wanting to carve a bit more out of it but did the first test run. I used a different ink for this but plan on using Speedball Fabric Block Printing ink on his t shirt. Is there any way I can fix the O? All tips very appreciated:)

I tried using nail polish remover with acetone to transfer an image to my rubber. The image transferred pretty nicely, but so much of the paper got stuck tot he rubber and is hard to remove without also removing/rubbing off the image. What did I do wrong?

I am looking at trying different types of paper, and wonder what works best.

Rescued this from the trash when I worked at a thrift store eons ago because they were only going to put the frame out on the floor. It just pulled my heartstrings and made me happy to look at partially *because* it’s crooked, rough, and has a spot of trash on it. It looks like hand cut stamps printed with poster paint? Can anyone tell me more about it?

My own little guy wanted to make a mat for it so we used washi tape to improvise without damaging it.

This is my first time using oil based ink for Linocut printing. There are not a lot of places nearby that sell printmaking supplies.

I pulled a pretty good test print on the yellow newsprint and pretty rough looking one on the target paper newsprint. I ordered burnt plate oil.

Is there anything I can use or any tips that will work in order to get a smoother print?

I am wanting to submit this for a show, but I am running out of time.

I am not looking for design critique. I think it’s rad.

Thanks.

I made these among others all over the last year. They are water-based ink on cardstock. 3 originals, 3 reproductions. I enjoy linocut as a hobby. While not perfect, putting them in frames really made me enjoy seeing them as more than just milestones. Enjoy! Let me know what you think.

1st image is original titled "Standoff", 2nd is a repro of "Girls in the Window" by Ormond Gigli, 3rd is original titled "Of my Wife", 4th is a repro of "the Lunatic of Étretat" by Hugues Merle, 5th is original titled "Envire", 6th is a repro of "the Magic Circle" by John William Waterhouse

Just got new Caligo colours, stoked with how they turn out on fabric! :)

I taped this lace paper over marbled paper and then printed them together. it was kind of tricky and I didn't have much paper but I think it turned out kinda cool

so these are my test prints for fabric. I did use fabric specific ink, and I followed all the instruction. I did multiple layers of ink and let it dry in between before pressing, made sure it was the right stickiness. I sprayed the fabric with water before hand to help with adhesion. I even did one without water just to see if that made a difference. I don’t know why I’m getting this weird ripple effect! is it because I need to buy a press instead of using my hands/feet to press? I used a board to make sure the pressure was even, I tried different amounts of pressure to see if that made a difference, it did not. what am I doing wrong? otherwise I feel like it came out okay, but it’s just a strange issue I’ve never had before

Has anyone done this successfully? I have fabric block printing ink that I'm using with decent success so far but unsure how to make this work on a hat.
